Hi all -

I was looking at my bolt the other day and I noticed it looked like one of the the springs was broken. I took the bolt apart and found the spring wasn't broken, but the firing pin washer appears to be a split washer, or it is broken. I can't find online pics of the savage washer, in high enough resolution to determine if the washer is supposed to have a split in it, or if mine is broken. Can someone help with this information?

Looks like this 3 piece spring system was a recent change for Savage, to fix issues with their single spring version.
