Zermatt Orgin 6.5CM light primer strikes??? ( pic heavy) *RESOLVED*

Hello, first I would like to say that I read the couple existing threads on light primer strikes and followed the advice that was on those threads. I wanted to post my issue as well as magdump some photos I took with this build.

I purchased a Zermatt Origin and a Proof 6.5 Creedmoor barrel prefit for the Origin. Action was put together and headspace was checked with go/ no go gauges. Go gauge closes and no go does not as normal. I paired this with a triggertech Primary trigger. Action was torqued to the recomended 85lt lbs using the zermatt action wrench.

Today I went to the range to zero the rifle and test it with 4 different store bough ammo boxes ( hornady match, Norma match, federal 120g and Hornady black). I shot a total of 20 rounds, 15 of which had what seems to be light primer strikes. The 5 that did go off the primers looked slightly harder hit. None of the ammo had issues feeding, execting or signs of pressure excess or anything like that ( it was factory ammo). You can see the difference between the fired / non fired.

I took some of the ammo and shot it out of my beraga B14 and it shot no problem, Thinking maybe the ammo might be bad.

I took the gun apart at home and checked headspace once more and go works, no go does not. I removed the trigger and re installed it. Took the bolt apart and cleaned ( no excess grease on the firing pin or anything ) I took some Hornady brass that I was reloading and added some CCI primers to them ( NO LIVE ROUNDS). I hand fed the primed ONLY casings into the chamber, and 10/11 rounds went off. The 11th round had a light primer strike. I added 5 more rounts with primers and yet again light primer strikes.

The one with the blue tape is the round that upon firing the primer did not go off.

One thing I did find weird was that I measured how far the firing pin went in when the trigger was pulled OUT of the chassis and in the chassis and I came back with 2 different numbers.
OUT OF THE ACTION

In the action ( Im not sure if this is significant or not.) I checked the action screws to make sure they werent blocking anything and no they were just fine.

I have no way to test the trigger vs a stock factory trigger or whatnot ( unless you all can think of a way)
I was wonder if maybe you guys can offer me some help in diagnosing this issue?

KRG Bravo Fitment Issue.

So I have had an Origin with a Medium Palma 223 Wylde for a bit.

Just recently realized the bolt handle was hitting the chassis and did some dremel work... no problem....

Come to notice marks on my barrel where the forearm screws protruding.
Are there shorter screws I can use? Washers?
Or just dremel again (I don't care about much about altering the stock)
I see now KRG says 1.25 is OK for about 4" from the action, so a palma is not really recommended, but these screws are only 1.25" from the recoil lug....

Any suggestions?

Banned by Mistake or Extended Bans

Hey we just noticed the system has hiccuped between the Hide TV and Forum where it extended short term bans that were meant to expire becoming permanent

Easy fix, if you know someone who suddenly has a permanent ban, have them email to remove it or confirm it...

A set of bans over the last 20 days have appeared to become permanent, wasn't our intension so let us know

Self-proclaimed Pit Masters of SH- I've got some questions

For those here that are well versed with the smoking of meat- I've got a Weber SMC coming this week and it'll be my first experience into giving this type of cooking a try myself (although I am a longtime fan of the end result). So as mentioned- I've got a SMC coming, approximately 70lbs of Kingsford Blue Briquettes, as well as Hickory/Cherry/Mesquite/Pecan/Apple Wood chunks.

I've been reading through various online articles and watching YouTube videos over the past week and it sounds like either pork butt or chicken thighs is the most forgiving for starting out and I'm leaning towards starting with the thighs myself. I think I'm good with the importance of maintaining temperature and how to do it (I also have a Termopro temperature gauge in the order with two probes, one of which I believe is best served to use one to monitor the ambient temperature at the rack with the 2nd being used to monitor meat temperature), understand the trimming of various cuts of meats, dry rubs, and marinating/basting timing. If I start with the thighs, I'm thinking of using either the Pecan, Cherry or Applewood for the first time (I prefer the heavy smoke flavor that hickory or Mesquite will impart but I'll likely have a crowd to evaluate how things turn out so understand the alternatives to be a bit milder/safer for a group.

I'm still trying to figure out the whole wet/dry brining element though as well as to understand the variations in smoking temperature. I've also seen some recipes where they put the chicken thighs in a pan rather than directly on the grill/arguments on whether or not to use the water pan (seems to focus more towards it being more favorable for the lower temperatures as far as I can tell but chicken seems to want to be smoked hotter than say the pork butt ... So many variables and I'm still trying to figure it all out.

All that said- for the Pit Masters here, any tips/tricks for someone starting out on their smoking journey that you'd be willing to share?

Need a Junior PRS Rimfire Rifle Recommendation

I’ve recently started shooting PRS Rimfire with my Tikka T1x and was super excited to find out that my 8 year old daughter has picked up an interest after watching a couple of matches. To maximize her experience and to give her the best chance of being successful, I want to set her up with a properly fitting rifle. What would you guys recommend for a small for her age 8 year old as far as factory junior bolt action rimfire rifles or aftermarket stocks? Bonus if it has the ability to grow with her over time.
