I have a Howa rifle with a extra power firing pin spring in it and the bolt is hard to open after being fired. It is not bullet ralated because it is hard to open after firing on a span cap also. Is there a fix for this or just something I have to get used to? Thanks Gary
 
Re: firing pin spring Question

If it came with the rifle when it was new, I would suggest getting used to it. Otherwise, you might talk to someone who knows about them about the possibility of cutting some coils, or getting a different spring.
