timing

Sir;
You don't really (as he says) have "firing pin timing."
The way the firing pin falls is really the distance it has to fall, and the speed; not timing but these items. How it is tensioned, or "cocked" is a matter of rifle design, some favorable, some not so.
People don't like, "cock on closing" or other ways of moving the firing pin to a state of tension. Cock on closing, like the SMLE has been battle tested, like the two stage trigger (probably the best), and several other weapons. The timing of the firing pin is simply the releasing of the mechanism which releases the firing pin and the speed at which it falls.
I personally think any accomplished marksman does not need anything much less than a four pound pull. If you need less you aren't correctly pressing the trigger! Super light trigger pulls, in my opinion, are just efforts to keep from flinching - super light trigger pulls have positively nothing to do with flinching!
