Thats one of those neck sizing cause they do it in benchrest guys that is lookin for the fast “locktime”Ha! Ha! Had the same thought. I had to google it!
Firing pin material (alu shank) and spring weight (20lb) are suspect. I’m sure it’ll fire but it might not be not a great combo IMO.

I have several speed lock firing pins by David Tubb that have an alum shank. 1000's of rounds never had one give up yet. I wish he still made them for the M98.Ha! Ha! Had the same thought. I had to google it!

I’ve never seen one give up either but that wasn’t my point.

Ive never seen anybody use one long enough for it to give up

What makes the combo not great?

Light firing pins lack the mass to provide good ignition

Like Dusty said. I also said "might not be". Many make them work but it's been shown over and over consistent ignition might suffer from a combo such as that. It's like the old Timney short sear vs long sear years ago. Timney made triggers (510's) with a short sear to reduce or eliminate cock on close but that reduced pin fall by about .050" if I recall. Many had them work fine but many had failures to fire and or poor accuracy results. This was so bad with Surgeon actions that they made a long sear just for them. Word got out and those like myself wanted the long sear in the triggers to preserve the proper pin fall. Fast forward years later Timney abandoned that short sear no cock on close idea. For other design reasons I quit using Timney's anyway.
Thank you guys! Im debating between them and the lone peak at the moment for a 22 caliber build. I liked the look of the falkor and the 500+ dollars savings in comparison (in Canada) but you don’t hear much about them

I’d be looking at a Bat, stiller, Mausingfield, or Kelbly atlas tactical.
Search around here for timing and ignition. You’ll never find a recommendation for a super light spring and pin.
The PRS nerds like them because they can cycle them fast…. But they also don’t clean their guns, so…

I go for the mausingfield every time when it comes to reliable cycling
My kelbly atlas tac is probably the smoothest action I own and works every time! Not a huge fan of my stiller but nothing really wrong with it

Give a mausingfield a test run. Nothing out there smoother and functions like a rolex

Might not be a good thing.

I still havent found out why the name seven even.
I’ve shot and played with both the nuke and Archimedes but never the mausinffield.
Not a clue but doesn’t seem to be winning any favours around here so definitely leaning more towards the lone peak

Falkor is local to us here in Kalispell, Montana. They are originally an AR style rifle manufacturer and in recent years have been trying to break into the bolt action world. I know some of the guys involved in their design process. They’ve studied the best actions and copied most of the good features.
In talking with them, I don’t believe they fully understand everything on the finer details of ignition and timing but they are working hard to get it right. I have handled a couple and they are pretty dang nice but in reality they are just another 416ss receiver to add on the growing pile of manufacturers out there. Nothing really sets them apart from the pack of affordable custom receivers.
That all being said, I wouldn’t hesitate to try one. Falkor 7even actions are not going to be as nice as a BAT HR but they aren’t priced that high either. Basically gonna be similar in quality to a Defiance Deviant
