Identifying a firing pin

[Peter Laidler]

Further to BinO's thread 10. This close thread form is to make sure that the cocking piece is a tight fit on the striker. If it ain't then you really can wave goodbye to any notion of a good pull-off. The EMER says that in order to make it a tight fit or tighten up the fit you can strike the thread on the striker with a small letter 'S' on each side!!!!! I don't go along with that - although I have done it of course. Just clean up both threads and tin them. It'll be tight enough for a good tight fit, ain't going to work loose and you'll be able to get it apart in the future without snapping the ears off the TOOL, removing, striker
