Does anyone have a blueprint of a factory Remington Short Action Firing Pin? I am looking for the actual dimension from the stop/shoulder surface to the centerline of the Cocking Piece Cross Pin Hole. I have measured several pins and each has a different dimension and I would like to know what the actual dimension should be.
Thanks, Brian
 
How much variation have you measured? If it is small use the average... it may simply be within production tolerances...

Are you measuring from the tip to the centerline of the hole in the pin? I don't believe the firing pin bottoms on the cross pin, it should bottom on the cocking piece maybe, Am I wrong on that?

Dennis,
I have also measured pins from a true Benchrest action. They are 4.551, 4.555, 4.563, 4.583 .032 seems like a large differance to me. The Remington is 4.543

Jkob,
I'm measuring from the shoulder area 1/4" in front of the spring to the center line of the .093 dia. hole. No the cocking piece should not bottom out in the shrould.

jkob, the cocking piece should not bottom on the bolt body, the firing pin stop is built into the firing pin and it contacts the bolt head washer. There is a washer inside a rem 700 bolt body between the head and tube, the head is silver soldered onto the bolt body, it is not a one piece item.

B, no spec but curious to what your variation is on the 700 pins. I have a couple here and will measure them when I true them.
