Default Got the breech plug measurements

I haven't been shooting a whole lot lately due to being out of ammo and with the Holiday's it really took a bite out of shooting.

But tonight i was itching for something to do, so i got the CVA Accura V2 out and took a bunch of pictures. Well while in the process i decided to go a head and tighten up the Firing Pin Bushing a bit with Two layers of White teflon Tape around it. Reinstalled it snug, then backed off and started fiddling around with the right primer fit.

In the end, i had to back the firing pin bushing out .016" in order to get a slight crush fit with the CCI 209M primers.

Im workin on the pictures now so maybe tomorrow i will get some uploaded.

Is there a reason you cannot use a shim under the bushing like Bellm uses on the T/Cs? I would bet contacting him about it might lead to another option. He has some extremely thin stainless firing pin bushing shims for only $14.95.
