Why not introduce yourself and tell us about yourself and your collecting interests in the "New Collectors" forum?

And yes - it is possible to modify an unfluted firing pin, but not a very practical approach. Purchasing one already fluted makes more sense.

Did you ever acquire one for your 1923 Alphabet DWM?
No, never did but I was considering it. My thinking was the fluted firing pin was created for a reason. That maybe it purpose was allowing high pressure from hot loads to escape instead of breaking internal parts. I have learned so far that this is not the case that the fluting helped remove dirt or otherwise prevented the firing pin from jamming due to dirt getting into the breech block.
