Gunsmith observation

The firing pin protrusion is too high. It does not function like a 10/22 bolt because the firing pin strikes the breach face. Understand that you must shave the nose on the pin so you don't ruin the barrel and firing pin. If the headspace is .043 min and .051 max you don't make the firing pine protrude .052. Out of the three bolts I've received all three had to be modified. Ruger knows this so their firing pin usually protrudes around .036"-.038". Kidd also knows this and lengthens their firing pins accordingly. When Bill Ruger designed the Standard pistol and 10/22 he made them both dry fire capable. Brownells is making them incapable out of the box for dry firing without damaging the barrel.
