Why did my firing pin bend? I went to the range today and fired off 60 rounds through my 995TS all without a single problems. When I got home to strip it down and clean that's when I noticed bent firing pin. However, it was not bent enough to restrict movement, just enough to look a little funky. Now, I don't know if this is good or bad but the pin was easy to straighten. Maybe a little too malleable? These were the first reloads run through it and they were made up from Winchester brass, Berry's plated bullets, Unique powder and CCI primers. I would consider them as light to moderate loads. I have stripped this rifle down 4 or 5 times and I have never noticed a bent pin. I'll probably call Hi-Point in the morning to see what they have to say. Anyone else have this happen?

Huh. Hi Point was putting titanium firing pins in the TS. They must have grabbed one out of the bin of 995 classic parts instead.

Nice try but I'm not going to fall for that one. :no:

Never mind. I didn't realize that issue was already discussed. I need to start using the search feature. :-[
