Post Modifying older firing pins

Can older style non-vented firing pins be modified to the vented configuration?

I agree,

It's easier to find a vented one and keep the unmodified one in a safe place. Never had functional problems when swapping firing pins around. Shoot a VoPo 'etch-a-scetch' in my DWM Dutch and have used various ones in my S/42.

Post the request in the "Wanted - Lugers, Parts & Accessories" forum.
