M1917 Firing Pin

[Winterkrieg]

I just bought a U.S. Rifle M1917 made by Remington. It's in very good overall condition and I just finished thoroughly disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling the entire rifle. Everything is in working order but I noticed the firing pin shaft from the collar towards the end of the pin is slightly bent. Basically, that part of the firing pin shaft is not quite as straight as an arrow like my Mauser K98 firing pin when I roll the firing pin in my hand. Is this normal and does anyone else have a firing pin like this? I've attached a picture indicating the area of the firing pin that is slightly bent but I can't take a picture of my own firing pin:

i dont see a big issue with it, as long as it sets the round off.
if it miss fires, repalce it.

I finally got around to shooting the M1917 and it works fine. Thanks for the advice Chuck.
