Light strikes on new rifle
- Thread starter stevengb

Appreciate this thread. As I have found some older models had barrel nut tightness (lack of and backing off) issues. Extraction issues. With improvements made over the past few years, does this rifle now have it's little act together as much as can be expected? OP, have you resolved the light strike issue? If so, what was the problem? Thanks guys.
Bolt and firing pin
I am having lite strikes also. Sucks in steel competition!
My firing pin is recessed like the one in the photo above on the left.
Will changing to the style on the right fix my problem? Is it a new bolt and firing pin or just firing pin and spring?
Who do you contact at Smith & Wesson about this? phone #, name?
Also, when cleaning do I spray lube in the firing pin area or try to keep dry and free from oil/lube?
Thanks,
Mike
