Hi Guys-
I bought a ~2002 production Savage 10FP from a coworker a year or two ago. Heavy barrel in .223. It's been a great rifle so far and a lot of fun for the wife and me to shoot.
I have started to have some light strikes on primers the last few months. The issue occurs with different brand ammo and I am able to then fire the rounds through my AR without problems. It works out to about 1 out of 20 rounds.
Does this sound like a new firing pin spring is in order? I've heard that Savage will only ship them to a dealer which would be a pain. Any ideas to help narrow down the issue are appreciated. Thanks.
The cases circled in red are light strikes, the others went off without issue.
PS: Please excuse the wolf ammo. I bought it during the panic and was just trying to finish it up.
