This is the piece at the back of the firing pin assembly that the sleeve fits into. I'm not sure how it happened and if it's something I inadvertently did, I'd like to know how to keep from doing it in the future.
I did disassemble it today and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Put it back together, dry fired a few times and then the bolt got a little harder and grittier to lift. Took it back apart and the piece was broke.
This wasn't my first time taking a savage bolt apart but it is the first time I've broke anything in one. Firing pin assemblies are out of stock where I know to look and so is the single piece I broke at Brownells. If someone happens to have an extra washer around I'd buy it from you.
