[ARCHIVED THREAD] - DPMS LR308 Firing Pin Retaining Pin

How difficult is yours to put in? I literally have to tap mine in with a punch and small hammer. The firing pin floats freely once it's installed and I can't see any burrs in the hole but it is very difficult to get in and back out.

I just got a new retaining pin in today and it's the same way.

It's supposed to be kinda tight, mine is the same way.

Better tight than loose. Mine got loose over time, and fell out one time when I was putting the carrier in. If you shoot the weapon without the retaining pin, the firing pin can get jammed in the most spectacular places.

That was a headache I will not repeat.

Mine has been loose since day one. I tried new pins, spreading the old pin, still loose as a goose. In two the pins are tight, but the first one, no dice. Turn it sideways and the pin falls out. I agree, count your blessings that it is tight and not as loose as one of mine is.
