Did I get the correct firing pin?
12/18/2010 4:47:49 PM
Went to a gun show today and picked up a firing pin for an ak47. It was fluted and I asked the seller if it would work, he said yes its for full auto ones and will work. He had a german accent so was hard to understand. Ive read on here before about the fluted ones, but cant remember if they will work. It would be for a wasr10/63 or draco pistol. I never took apart my bolt yet, only because im lazy and never had a need to. So just to make sure here is a pic of the one I got. From what pics I can find online they all look to maybe be flat, where the one I got is rounded. Only reason im question this firing pin is looking at mine the part that gets hit by the hammer is flat and thin, im guessing this new round type will still drop in?
For $15 for the pin, and a new recoil spring it wasnt too bad of a price.
here is the new one bottom right, compared to mine

damn, he had like 5 more too, I just wasnt too sure if it would work out. Hopefully I will never need to replace one.

I doubt if you will break that one, it is the same type I have in my RPK it is a lot heaver than normal.
For that price you should have bought all of them, you could have made a little profit from the buy.

The pin you got is a Hungarian part and it will interchange with the euro-pattern bolts...not sure about the Chinese. More than likely, you won't even have to replace your existing pin, but spares are always a good thing to have around.
