[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 3032504, member: 115658"] A Kimber M84 fly weight, .308W - the firing pin spring did not have enough tension to setoff primers and when tension was increased the firing pin protrusion was inadequate to strike primers deep enough. I removed firing pin and placed firing pin thru 2 thin, reduced diameter, .010 thick washers & between spring & bolt sleeve to increase tension with adequate protrusion (.060). Factory fly weight skinny barrel looked like a big soda straw. $450 to McGowen replaced barrel. Trigger cleaning & adjust followed. A relative liked the M84 more than I so gave it to him. Finally, it would shoot muffin size groups at 300 using Hornady 150 SST bullets & 8208 rodent rifle powder. Enough cash & time spent on something I never liked very much. [/QUOTE]
