On Saturday I had a misfire so when I got home I decided to have a look at the state of the firing pins. The bottom one looked a bit shorter than the one in the spares kit and the back looked a bit bashed so I swapped it.
Anyway once fitted I noticed that the new pin protruded throughout the pin hole (too long). So I've swapped it back.
I didn't have a problem on Sunday so the cartridge was more than likely the issue.
I've trawled tinternet, but as usual can't find anything useful or informative on fitting new pins. Although I did find out that my trigger group has the bottom hammer without webbing!!
The gun was built in the 1980s and I doubt that the firing pins I have we're originally supplied with it. My questions are;
Is it usual for new pins to need additional fitting or should they just go straight in or have the dimensions of the pins changed over time?
Hopefully somebody on the forum can shed some light.
Thanks.
