Hi Ted, I have read that the firing pin relief slots were to facilitate gas relief in the event of a pierced primer....as a overly oiled firing pin would act as a piston and fracture the rear of the breechblock! Could be for both (or more) reasons, maybe? Excellent test questions Ted, I can tell you put some thought into it! till...later...G.T.
