Thanks for the replys
The pins do protrude through the breach face when at rest, the exact same amount left and right.
I will check the right barrel for loose head space, I'm thinking that may be a long shot I should have noticed if it was that loose.
I will check the fireing pin springs next, to be quite honest I never knew it had some in there. I have not taken it that far apart yet.
I'm guessing the fireing pin goes out pretty far hits the primer then the hammer is held in check and a light spring retracts the pin a few thousandths.
Is this how the system works ?
If the pin is punching that primer in pretty far not fracturing it but pretty close I'm thinking it should be addressed if nothing else just to make the gun work as perfect as I can get it.
Thank you for any advice, Tom

This is a DH hammer less model, don't know if they are all the same .

Yes, I do not believe the firing pins would protrude if the springs were in place and in good shape. Unless the firing pin has broken - I had one the still fired broken, it was the tip not retracting that gave me the clue something was wrong.
