    M/94 Carbine Firing Pin Protrusion

    I have an M/94 Carl Gustavs Carbine and am wondering if there is an adjustable firing pin on these. My father in law says that the last his father used he thinks that there were some misfires. I haven't tried firing this yet, but would like to make sure it is safe first.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    If you have all matching parts you should be OK. The firing pins have a slight protusion. Too long and they will pierce the primer and you will have real problems. Does the firng pin look like someone has filed it down? Then you may well need a replacement. Try some fresh ammo, and good luck.
