Firing pin cracked

Hi Tom, well sort of.. our thread is about a firing pin that broke in half and caused the weapon to just not fire??.. our discussion stems around the issue as to whether or not the weapon could have discharged from slamming home with a broken in half pin, the second of two such failures I have experienced.. neither time could I make the weapon go off by re-cocking and reloading until I discovered the broken pin... Maybe I was just lucky...we will see tomorrow as I try to replicate the failure by removing the sear bar, and just loading one round in the mag at a time... BTW, drop me an email, I need to inquire about some of the items you have mentioned... and some others I need! best to you Tom, til...lat'r....GT....
