BAR and Joe, I too would not leave a round pin in unless I were not going to shoot it. I would just like to have one so I could say it is ALL there.

Years ago when the Lend Lease rifles were more available, people shot thousands of rounds through these rifles (myself included) - only when
information became available during the 90's - that the hazard became known.
I would never use the round firing pin again.

If you save a round firing pin - do some homework and make sure it is a SA round firing pin as there were alot of Winchesters around.

Can you enlighten a new guy about the issue with a round fireing pin? I have a HR M1 from 1954 that has been rebuilt, so I don't know if the fireing pin is original or not. Thanks
