    Thanks, I was thinking about this later on and wasn't sure if the firing pin sat that high in the cocking sleeve. So with that minor of a difference I guess you wouldn't need a spacer after all? I'm thinking about doing this to my 2 Savages and formulating a game plan.

    That's incorrect, he had the measurement correct. You need to compensate for the entire thickness as this is how much the firing pin spring is going to be compressed if you want to keep everything in spec.

    Before I found your post I was thinking the same thing, a hole drilled in the center of the BAS, then polished and chamfered should make the ball bearing ride much smoother and decrease the resistance even more.
