Updating the ignition on a Bat action.

[Dusty Stevens]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
This sort of insight always amazes me, and would love to fine tune further the screw in shrouded Bat M I have.
The Tenon threads on mine wasn't 100% perfect, and the firing pin fall could be improved.

I won't dabble too much more as it shoots exceptionally well, but does throw the odd bullet out of group.
Can you make it shoot worse by trying to improve its flyers?

You can very easily make it shoot worse. Doesnt even require much skill just confidence

Excellent word smithing!

Like Dusty said, yes you can. There's no one size fits all recipe. I have found different primers like different ignition setups. So I do like to know what primers I am setting the ignition up for. But there are some things that are universal. Obviously short pin fall, weak springs, and drag is never good.
