I guess there will always be some unwanted extra movement somewhere in whole system, from trigger finger to tip of firing pin. Manufacturing tolerances (and wear) being what they are. Actually, when looking at it I'm again impressed with the ingenuity involved with tripping the hammer with a trigger mounted so far away. Kind of Rube Goldberg yet efficient. Art was no dummy.

Yeah, it certainly is a lot different than a Winchester or Marlin. The 99 has always looked like a complicated falling block action to me.

Back to the firing pin spring...
Does anyone know if primer metal has changed since 1900 so would require less pounds force to fire a primer? Just wondering if the force to fire a round produced in 1900 differs from a round made now ( WWII or 1960)? Or, if priming material is easier to ignite?

If you remove the bolt and pull the trigger with only the trigger spring for resistance (no firing pin spring engaged), there's very little resistance. The trigger spring does no more than orient the trigger forward and keep it under slight pressure to maintain it's forward position. The real resistance is from the firing pin spring, but, I did try what you sent me. I put two small washers under the trigger spring. No change that I can detect.

I loaded this gun up with live ammo and was whacking on it with a wood mallet. I pounded on it until it finally went off and shot a hole in the garage ceiling. Ha! Got ya!

I woulda used a steel sledge hammer and not a rubber mallet. And then....
