Yes. A fixture to mill it would be somewhat complicated to securely hold it without crushing it, while a fixture for grinding the flutes could be 'flimsier'...I did find a 'assembly line' firing pin here, the 'assembly line' firing pin flutes look shorter than the conversion flutes...But I can't tell if they are milled, the FP was never installed and has a coat of something black on it, almost like Parkerizing...
