Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - firing pin impression on chambered round
Posted: 6/14/2009 5:58:06 PM EDT
I have noticed when I clear a live round from the chamber there is an impression left on the primer from the firing pin.  Should I be concerned?  It has never double fired....

Nope, AR's have a freefloating firing pin. This is normal.
