If you feed it junk ammo, why should you expect filet mignon results? Well now you can, with our new "Neck & Throat" chamber reaming service!

Well I just stumbled on a broken pin.  Was taking some action pics and noticed the pin sticking out  :shock:
The pin still was springy and only by tilting muzzle down was it noticeable. 
That will teach me not to fully take down the rifle after shooting :)
 
Anyway, it was an old pin from March 2013.  Unless it broke on the very last shot it did not cause any issues.
The more I look at it the more it looks like it was shot a few times after it broke. 
This was in the wife's SKS, not mine that had a double a year ago (factory pin)

Anyway, a new pin, made from the mobetta SS is on it's way.
That's Ben for ya :)

Hey Panoz,
these were taken with an FZ70

Yep, 17-4 SS is much better than 420 SS. (especially when it comes from a 3rd world country) Who'd a thunk it?

I have a lot more confidence in a manufacturer that admits their mistakes, stands behind their products, makes it right, and then takes measures to minimize/eliminate those problems in the future than a manufacturer that simply hasn't gotten caught and dressed down for it yet.

I'm very glad to hear it, and look forward to playing with the firing pins and trigger parts I just ordered.

Thanks Mr. Murray for supporting us, and helping us support you, doing something we all love.

Appreciate the kind words guys, and a big Thank You to the near 2K customers that have ordered since the last post here, and still...not one report of a broken firing pin.  8)   Appears that 17-4 SS is far superior to the 3rd world country 420 SS.
