If your rifle is no longer rupturing cases,  has no miss-fires, and extracts fine, no need to modify anything. The firing pin strike in the 6 o’clock position over the extractor is in the normal place for the rimfire 44’s, 44 1/2’s, 414’s, and favorites. For the models with the 6 o’clock extractor that is. A bad design I guess. On Stevens 417’s and 418’s the firing pin is in the 9 o’clock position, something I’ve recently learned because of this site.
