Have you not got a hardware shop (translates to store in US ;D) near you that sells wire snap rings? (no idea what a wire snap ring is called in the US)

I don't know it eighter, I live in Hungary. 🙂 I will try to find one tough… Thanks for the tip!

I keep thinking everyone on here's from the states. If you're in Hungary then order one from the factory they must be able to get it to you in a couple of days

I've not got one in front of me but from what I remember once the cup is over it the spring can't come off so bending it back to size might be ok. Its sprung steel so should be ok to close up again and push the cup over. For peace of mind though a new one is probably best.

Sorry only just seen this and sorry for the misunderstanding.  Pull back the cup at the front of the spring and you will find a small clip once that is prized off it all comes apart.

Dismantling is easy. Holding the bolt twist the rear cap clockwise, away from the bolt handle, it should then slide off. Return to original position turning anti clockwise but not to far. Put a small allen key (US Hex wrench)  in between the hole you can now see and turn anti clockwise.

Nice post Eric thanks for the info

I wish he would ship to the Uk. I've been looking for one for ages.

The stop for the firing pin is not the back of the bolt face but right up the other end of the bolt. My firing pin was protruding 84 thou and my other Tikkas were 54 thou so we machined 20 thou off the end. It now shoots fine and doesn't hole primers. 
I have know idea how it became longer or if it was when new. Its done thousands of rounds and been re barrelled once. It only started holing primers after it was re barrelled 

[tisme]

I've seen rails put on with screws that are to long and rub on the bolt. Might be worth checking

[tisme]

Is shipping to the UK pos?

Let us know if you get the .5 moa group with the weaver scope. Well done to Vortex for the refund, if it was me I would have gone for another Vortex scope just for the customer service. I have two 6-24×56 PST that are great.

Pete – have you tried taking your bolt apart to see if you can spot anything unusual?  –  Todd

Hi Todd

Yep took it apart but everything looks good. I have re faced the end of the bolt by 20Thou and it now shoots fine. I've put about 100 rounds through since and no holed primers at all (before it would hole every round). We measured a few T3 firing pins and most came out the bolt about 54 thou mine came out 84 thou!
It does puzzle me why it shot 1000s of round before this happened

Problem solved.

Thanks for the assistance.

Bob

Hi Bob
I would love to know what the problem was as I have the opposite problem with the firing pin holing primers because it's coming out to far
