I feel we place to much emphasis on totally matching numbers. Of course we would all prefer all matching numbers including two mags. But let's get real. The more we demand this perfection the more we can expect them to be faked.If the firearm is in good condition and one small part was replaced somewhere sometime so what. This is especially true on those firearms that are rather hard to find. I don't buy mismatched parts guns. But if it is one I want and the say firing pin is mismatched I really don't worry about it. Would I prefer that it matched,of course. But certaintly not enough to stop me from purchasing it. One mismatched part does not detract from the history etc. of the firearm. Just my two cents. Bill
