How To Change Firing Pin On Savage Model 93r17 Caliber

My burglarize'due south firing pivot has a square of metallic, that stops the forward movement of the firing pin, when the square strikes the breech face, of the barrel. The square of metal had to be reduced. At that place are better ways (equipment similar mills, etc.) to do this. Only, the way I increased the frontward motility of the firing pin works.

1) Remove bolt from burglarize. Then uncock the activity. Sentry out for a pinched finger!

ii) Utilize 3/xvi Allen wrench to remove bolt cap. Remove the spring and the spring guide rod.

3) Earlier proceeding further I cleaned the finish of the guide rod with alcohol. I and so placed a drop of orange pigment on the stop of the rod. The paint was drying while I worked on the firing pin. I now take a visual indicator, to show when the rifle is artsy.

4) I used a bench block and a five/64ths curl punch, to drive out the firing pin, pin. A piece of wood with a pigsty in it can be used. Be sure the pin is vertical before trying to drive information technology out. I couldn't tap mine out. I had to Striking IT! If that doesn't work for y'all, get a larger hammer. It wouldn't hurt to have an extra 5/64ths roll pin punch on hand.

5) When the pin is out, remove the firing pin. I used a slice of paper towel to preclude my

small vise grips from marring, twisting, denting, or in whatsoever manner harming the bodily firing pin.

6) I then used a fine stone to piece of work the square of metal down. Employ a straight edge to verify that the firing pivot does not protrude beyond the head of the bolt, when the firing pin is pushed and held every bit far forward a it volition go. Then 1,000 dust sand paper, on a popsicle stick to smooth it up. Now would exist the time to practise whatever other polishing to the firing pin. I did very little to mine.
