I used the search engine, but didn't find any information regarding this specific problem.
I bought my son a Savage rascal for his 9th birthday a year ago. What a great offering by Savage... I actually love shooting this thing. However, we seem to be experiencing TOO many FTF, and I honestly think they are simply light strikes. This is not due to a weak spring, but rather, the way the firing pin is designed.
It appears that the firing pin (below the portion that strikes the rim) acts as an anvil, limiting the depth that the firing pin can move forward. I am inclined to carefully file a bit of this anvil away, allowing the entire firing pin to finish deeper and hopefully ignite the cartridges more consistently.
Does anyone have experience with this gun, know what I am talking about, opinion regarding the work I want to try???
Thanks in advance, gang!
