Well I got my spikes conversion kit and had some issues with it.  I used to have a ST-22 upper which functioned 100% so I need to figure out whats wrong with this.

Loaded a round fed fine, pulled the trigger and nothing.  No strike on the case or anything. Eject round fine, then load another same thing.


Thanks, and throw some advice if you can.

Firing pin should move freely, under return spring tension, but may not protrude beyond the bolt, except the rebated portion.

Had an issue with the firing pin.  Tom is taking care of it as usual A+ service!

Call Tom. He'll probably ask you to return it or offer to send you the firing pin and spring.
We all screw up. It's what you do afterward that matters.

Yah guess I was a little more pissed off than I should be.  Things happen, just sucks as I was going to a .22 match when I showed up with a broken conversion.


Will send an e-mail now as they will probably be closed for the weekend.

Send it in and I will replace it. If you call on monday we will send you a call tag for it. Sorry about that.

There may be some checks Tom wants to run on the whole bolt
assembly with another firing pin installed. That's probably why
Tom wants you to send the unit in. Sorry you had trouble with their
conversion. It does happen on occasion no matter how hard they try,
one will slip by. And believe me they try hard to stop problems like this
before they go out to a customer..

All things mechanic are subject to Murphy's Law. Things just go wrong sometimes. We never like it when it happens to us, but every once in awhile we have our turn.
The FIRST thing one should do is contact the vendor or maker of the product and let them solve the problem. Tom at Spikes  cares very much and is always quick to fix anything that might go wrong. Just do a survey here and see how many folks LOVE Spikes. They have worked hard to gain our trust and our business.

Oh, yes I am a fan of theirs. My experiences with them has always been 100% positive.

Hey guys I edited my above posts.  I don't want any hard feelings towards spikes as I have a lot of parts from them and all function great.  Things happend as is the case with this kit.  No worries should only put me back a week or so.


Thanks Tom and Spikes!


Still the best looking and feeling kit out there.
