Hey everyone,
I just joined this forum, looks like a great place to learn from great people.
Anyway my question is concerning a custom open bolt system- If the firing pin is fixed in these system how does the pin not interfere with the shell loading up tightly against the face of the bolt?
The system im experimenting with is using .22 cal ammo and the pin is located at the top portion of the bolt. As the bolt slides forward the shell is picked up from the clip but stops from being properly centered in the bolt as the rim of the shell hits the protruding firing pin. The pin only protrudes about 1mm.
Thanks for the help and suggestions!
