A friend of mine has an issue with his Scout conversion not striking the primer fully. He used the gun all last year with no issues. It will leave a very light indentation on the primer but not enough to ignite. I loaned him a receiver until he could get it fixed. Has anyone had this happen? How did you get it resolved? Is this a common issue? What would cause the firing pin to suddenly not fully strike the primer?
I suggested sending the receiver only to CVA if he could get away with that or finding a local gunsmith.

I can't speak to the CVA specifically, but I've got several TC Encores. In order to lighten the trigger pull, I purchased MCarbo spring kits and changed out the springs myself. One of the springs in the kit is the firing pin spring. The installation video talks about the original springs, over time, wear out and you get light primer strikes.
So, my first guess is that it is just a firing pin spring. It is also possible that the firing pin itself is worn over time or even broke, but less likely.

I’ve never seen any of my CVA’s.
I would check a few things before I sent it back to CVA.
Maybe it was put up dirty and the firing pin rusted?
I would spray dry lube in the firing pin hole and fire it a few times to loosen any rust or corrosion slowing down the firing pin. You can check the pin protrusion with the end of your finger when fired. When fired it will sting your finger tip for a minute or two.
Is the primers seated to deep in the primer pockets?
Try his action on your barrel to see if it goes bang with your module and primer.
