I've just got thru with my 6.5-06AI build. I built the whole with the the supervision and guidance of my gunsmith. Here's the problem. I loaded up 30 rounds to fireform brass. W-W 25-06 brass, 51gr. RL22 and started out with CCI LR primers pushing 144 grain FMJ of sometype. Out of the 30, 10 rounds didn't fire. Primer never ignited. I took 6 of the misfired rounds and then used the same powder, case, etc as the misfired round and put Rem. primers in them. I shot them today 2 out of 6 didn't go off. Here are some pics of the primers. 2 on left are rem. 2 on right are CCI The middle to are fired and outside 2 are misfires.
I changed out the firing pin and firing pin spring during this build. I installed a Speedlock. I noticed when I took the original remington spring out the spring was alot more coiled and bunched up. My other Rem 700 is at the smiths to so I don't have a referrence for this but my cocking peice doesn't seem to be sticking out very far pass my bolt shroud when the gun is cocked. Atleast that's compare to my model 70..Does this look right??
Here is some pics of the firing pin. Notice in 2nd pic how little spring coil there is and this is with the cocking peice pulled back alot futher than it's suppose to be for opperations. I'm wondering if it's a SA spring.
