Kimber 84M Weak Firing Pin Strike/Spring

[mishka]

G'day from Australia.

For the second time I am having consistent failure-to-fires on a Kimber 84M, last rifle that did this was fixed with a replacement firing pin spring from Kimber (factory replacement was longer and stiffer - funny that).

Problem is this time nobody in Australia stocks Kimber springs and I can't find a replacement anywhere? I have read as much as I can and it seems the Wolff springs are too big despite being listed for Kimber 84. I suspect they are to suit Oregon Kimbers which would be different.

Suggestions or have you got one or two factory replacement ones around that could help an Aussie out?

Rifle is an 84M Varmint in 204Ruger.

Thanks,

Jason.

A easy hack is to cut an arrow insert or an aluminum tubing down and put a spacer behind the spring. Eliminates FTF for me.
