You're close.Had the typical Browning O/U light primer strike on the bottom barrel. Consequently, am replacing both firing pins and hammer springs. Am looking for torque specs for the stock bolt without success. Am guessing 7 ft/lbs give or take which should be about 84 in/lbs. Am I close?
I like the ratchet idea.....it'd give me an excuse for another tool or three my wife thinks I don't need.You're close.
It's actually tighten with ratchet until it's snug. Back off one quarter turn, then tighten one quarter turn. In other words, no ugga dugga.
In all seriousness, 5 - 10ft lbs sounds about right.
Seems I'll need to start keeping spares in the bag. This isn't my primary clay gun so I've only shot a few hundred rounds with it since replacing the firing pins last year. Don't see evidence of pitting so an thinking the spring may be a primary cause. Now to figure out a way to replace them without firing one or both through the drywall.Mine came with a long Allen wrench. Couldn't tell the tongue - Gave it everything the short wrench would take - Never came loose. But it is a Browning, so I will have it apart in another year for the bottom pin, carry the bottom pin in my shooting bag.
