    I had a go of a 30 cal Mg at Cu-Chi tunnels also a Garandicon but it broke the firing pin after 6 rounds so did not get to hear the "Ping".
    I then had to have 2 rounds out of the 30 Mg well that lasted a long time. LOL

    That's VERY unusual. I suspect they had a local repair job or home made part that dumped on you. US made M1icon rifle parts are just about indestructible.
