Tikka bolt stop pin break diagnosis

[ehayes]

Is there a chance that the pin was undersized or the hole is now "egged" from hard use? I've just never seen it in any of the 8 Tikka actions I own in both stainless and blued. Where did you get the replacement pin?

The pin was not undersized. The hole on the OEM mechanism was egg shaped.
I got a replacement set from Mountain Tactical. New pin, spring and mechanism.

The pin was not undersized. The hole on the OEM mechanism was egg shaped, I assume from being hit. But I think this anomaly happened because the pin was not seated in the upper hole.

The oem stop is supposed to be egg shaped, part of what keeps it from breaking

Ok. Thanks. I’ll post a pic of mine when I get a chance.
