Breech Block Blown

Hi

The breachblocks are fairly easy to weld, and they can be welded without having it's orignal colour destryed.
I use to turn out a cupperpin that fits in tight where the firing pin should sit and weld it with a TIG weld.
But I have done it with a gastorch as well.
Preferably the breach block should be preheated and annealed afterwards in the oven.

The bigest problem I have seen with blown primers on lugers are caused by worn firin pins with sharp corners at the front.
So actually the chepest insurance for not having this to happend is to polish the end of the firing pin if its not perfectly round and having craters.

Best Regards HÃ?Â¥kan
