M2008 firing pin dim?

[K_4c]

I broke my Badger m2008 bolt (gen 2) down to clean it up and put in a tubbs speed lock spring in it.... well I lost count on how many turns I turned the pin and have no idea what dimension I need to achieve from the face of the bolt to the tip of the firing pin? To far and I'm going to pierce primers, not far enough and I'll get light strikes....

Does anybody recall the required dim? Otherwise, a phone call to Marty is in order.

You can google firing pin protrusion dimensions and throw your depth mic on the bolt head to get that worked out. Mine is "firing pin screwed fully in & notch lined up with retaining screw"

Give Marty a call at Badger. He will give you the measurements for the pin. Super guy to deal with.
He helped me with my 2013 pin settings.

1. Which action is the speed lock kit designed for?

2. Please report back on how that works out! Perceived locktime, bolt lift, etc

I merely replaced the firing pin spring with a Tubbs dual speed lock spring kit (Rem 700 SA). I then put some flitz metal polish on the cocking ramp and worked her over with a dremel (polishing wheel). It's noticeably smoother but no AI When performing dry fires, I could always hear the twang of the spring once fired, that is no longer an issue as it locks up with much less bounce back. Overall, I feel it was a good weekend project.

Hope this helps bud...

Mind posting a picture of the two springs side by side? No need to disassemble the striker assembly.
