I can't wait to get it back. Mostly to see if they've fixed it. But I do want to look at the firing mechanism more closely.

It seems like FTFire should be the simplest thing to fix. I can better imagine how a FTFeed or FTE could happen. There's a LOT going on there, all at once, with perfect timing and geometry.

But to fire, it's just a matter of the firing pin whacking the primer hard enough. You need a strong enough spring, the pin able to move freely, and the case tight in the chamber. I know I am over-simplifying. But can you understand why I might want to poke around in there a bit?
