Per the Rule Interpretations posted in the ISSF website, "Toes and heels with flat or square surfaces will not be approved." To make them legal you must round both the toe and the heel. This rule is effective beginning with the Munich World Cup later this month.

Some pictures of you in position using this device would be helpful for us to try and determine if it is legal and safe.

Try this. Take the bolt apart and thoroughly clean the inside of the bolt. Use a spray solvent based cleaner. Put the new spring on the old firing pin. Apply grease to the firing pin. Grease all points where the fining pin contacts/rubs on the bolt, including where it slides in the slot at the back ...

Why was the firing pin replaced? Was the gun misfiing before the firing pin was replaced?

Here is a good exercise. Spend 30 minutes a day just working on your hold. Don't shoot or dry fire. Just work on your hold. If you can, do it wearing just sweats and barefoot. If you work hard and stick with it, your hold will improve.

If I understand your question correctly, one answer is to paint the base of the sight off white. A way to test it is to put a piece of masking tape on the front of the sight base. That will give you a dark circle all the way around.

Remember that the maximum height for the front sight of an air rifle is 60 mm (ISSF rule 7.4.2.7.c).
