Will a carbon steel firing pin break or should it be ok? We had one break and are getting it recreated using a CNC milling machine, they are going to scan the dimensions of the pin perfectly and cut a new one out a block of metal. Just don’t want it to happen again$130 per pin he’s quoted me, and $80 for the scanning job. So $210 all up for one - or he said he will make x10 for $530 and waive the scan fee.Im thinking just get one to try it first and if it’s good I’ll get a few spares made up
>>64640556You tried machining a pre-hard rod? Uniform hardness is also not a good thing for a firing pin.
>>64640573>Uniform hardness is also not a good thing for a firing pin.It doesn't really matter if its toughness is high enough.
>>64639701You'd need an optical comparator to get the scallop right, but it probably doesn't matter much>>64637617>>64637620A non heat treated firing pin will not last long at all. Mil spec calls out for 8640 with a salt bath heat, salt bath quench, and air cooling.You should look at a 17-4PH pin heat treated up to H900 (hold at 900°F for an hour, air cool), and that's going to get you RC ~45. You'll find rod stock on Mcmaster for cheap.You could go up in case hardness (HRC 55+) with nitriding, but it depends on your needs.
Holy fuck you are getting hosed. I've whipped out similar firing pins on the lathe in less than half an hour. Just use fucking tool steel like O1 and draw it back to blue (roughly 550 degrees F) after the oil quench.Is it that hard to find a competent gunsmith in your area? Their is absolutely no need for CNC on that firing pin, it's a stupidly basic thing to do on the lathe. And the scalloped section I would just take care of using hand files, the mill is too much work to set up for something that isn't that critical.That's less than a $100 job in my shop.
>>64637617Toughest shit on Planet Earth is 13% Cobalt Tool Steel. I only ever bought it in short pieces o' square stock. Be nice to start with a minimum diameter piece o' round. < Assuming Not Available easiest way to fab the stubborn shit into a pin like that is 4" gennie Diamond cutoff on angle grinder bolted to lathe tool post - then grab the square stock in a 3-jawed chuck and let it hang out. I'd make you one of those for $500,

What kind of holster should I get for my SAA? I don’t know if I want to go full cowboy (although I do live in the middle of nowhere so I ***could*** if I wanted).

>>64642164Or, hear me out- you could make me one and I pay you.. how much would you charge? Also, where would you wear it? I live on a farm, so I have that, but also at the same time, I feel a little conflicted that I have a big iron and couldn’t wear it concealed really. :(

>>64643747I have a M1903 from Rock Island Arsenal and it has some weird Layman sight on it. I don't know if I should remove it and sell it, or is this some type of match built rifle for something like the CMP or NRA matches back in the 1920s & 30s.I just wanted a nice 1903 to round off my collection of 20th Century American infantry rifles.

I don't know if I should remove it and sell it, or is this some type of match built rifle for something like the CMP or NRA matches back in the 1920s & 30s.Possible add on, but at this point, vintage. Leave it on and cherish it. The 1903 is always the one that got away for me and yours looks great!
>>64644082Thanks! It was $1200 off Gun Broker, and I was really surprised when I saw it at my FFL, they said it was one of the best they had come through the shop in a long time. I love it, and thankfully I had everything else I wanted before our stupid AWB in this state, but getting a bolt gun wasn't too horrible.
>>64644144Yeah, it's gorgeous. >$1200That's why I haven't gotten one. I saw the prices in the '80s and '90s.

>>64643720Why, god WHY didn't they send another one of those subsea babies, there's another sub right there and many ships asking to get cucked.They can't just have one, I'm sure they already have an handful of these new devies, just use them before ziggers counter them with even the most basic fishnet or something.This is infuriating, Ukraine always find a way tu turn the tables, and be first in developing something new or have new ideas that gives them great results on the field AND the advantage, and they don't push further immediately.War is all about developing new shit that gets countered and to find new shit to overcome those counters, in an infinite loop. If you don't exploit the favorable part of the loop as much as you can, then it's a complete waste.

Now that the dust has settled... Its time to apologize. Join me in an apology for a pistol was betrayed by its country despite its years of service.. A perfect embodiment of the GWOT era. Dear Beretta, we regret replacing you with cheap malfunctioning trash. Dear Beretta, we apologize for feeding you with substandard magazines which caused failure to feed issues. Dear Beretta, we regret mocking your lack of modularity despite 99% of troops never actually putting modular crap on their service pistol. Dear Beretta, we apologize for saying you were too big for womens hands, we realize now that women should never have been in the military or even the workplace. Dear Beretta, the weight of our transgressions stays our /k/ feet. We do not wish to be left behind. Amen.To all men listening now, this week, head to your local sports and outdoor and purchase a Beretta M92 variant. Clean it, train with it, learn its functions and maintenance as your own, it will take care of you as well. But do not apologize, as we have all apologized in solidarity here today. Comment too long.

>>64644008berettabros... our response?
>>64644107Given that it has 0 negative impact on the gun and only promotes smooth ejection and feeding? I guess that's my response.
