Welding on Firing Pin to make it longer.

[LAGS]

OK
Now I see what you mean.
But, If you trim off the front edge of the " T " portion, and solder a shim on the Back of the " T " portion, then the pin will be set forward more.
450 degree solder wont hurt the temper in the firing pin, and the shim or spacer should stay in place.

HAHA, genius. Why didn't I think of that... Thanks. Ill do that. What amount of headspace is there suppose to be BTW?

I dont have a 22 Headspace Gage, but you are always safe with less than .004 "
But a 22 is minimal so the bolt can close with different ammo.
What is the thickness of Scotch Tape ?
One layer thickness is fine. but down to 0 is better.

Scotch 'Magic' Tape is very close to .0015" thick.

So two layers = .003", etc.

Remove firing pin from bolt.
Take measurements of existing length.
TIG weld a drop of 4130 CrMo to the firing pin TIP.
Work harden
Blend
Re-install firing pin
DONE

10 minute job
NO Rocket Science involved!

Sounds great, only I don't have a TIG. Just arc and MIG. Only other options are fusion welding and brazing with Oxy-Acetylene but thats low heat soft metals.
