SKS firing pin.

[Exonautic]

Where can i get just a spare sks firing pin. everyone just sells the murrays and frankly i dont want that, just want a stock FP. It's a 70's yugo. i broke the pin today at the range when a primer got caught up in the channel. In the heat i rushed the re-assembly of the bolt. big mistake and i don't recommend it.

Aw crap.

I was hoping for a GROUP BUY discount on Murray's SKS Firing Pin Mod.

I would very much be down for that; might be something to think about looking into.

While I was a member of NES (left-wing massachusetts gun group - at least the owner is), I emailed Murray twice, politely, about this exact thing.

No reply.

But if someone else wants to try, and Murray agrees, I would totally be IN.

Even if it were just $10 off it would be enough for me to "pull the trigger".

BTW, I would prefer the complete enchilada where I'd mail in the Bolt and he'd do everything.

I'd definitely agree that the Murray mod is a bit overpriced, even though it's a great part. I've had a tiny bit of experience with it but it was quite a few years ago now that a friend asked me to install it while I was doing a trigger job for him. I have also personally seen one up close slam fire due to a stuck pin. That one didn't go auto or anything, just jammed up, and I'm sure was 100% based on the user never maintaining it, but when you actually see it happen it kinds of jams the point home that it's not just a ,"that's so rare it'll never happen to me" kind of thing.

Right, it's definitely not rare. I've had mine slam fire like 3 times in a few years of ownership (always just a double fire). It doesn't bother me though, I think I'm going to stick with the original for originality's sake.

Just so anyone knows, the ATF has made a positive decision that the work Murray does NOT affect the Rifle's C&R status.

Honestly I don't think his work is overpriced.

But I am a genuine Scot when it comes to stretching a dollar.

@meketrefe probably could make you a custom one ..

That is not like installing a scope or putting an upper together. It is very hard to make.
It requires a gunsmith and the most critical part is the steel needs to be properly heat treated so one needs the right equipment
otherwise either will not last or might break.
Better to order from a reputable supplier. not sure who has one. I am not familiar with that platform.
I like to read the books and history but do not own one and I don't think I will ever will, but never say never.

I have heard of an issue where popped or pierced primers vent gas into the firing pin chamber and melting and welding the Murray's firing pin spring in place. This will either give you a permanent slamfire bolt or an inoperable one. Just have a properly shaped firing pin in good condition and keep the channel it rides in free and clear of schmutz and you will be fine.

oddly enough thats the issue i had that caused most of my issues, was popped primers. i wanted to burn through the tula that i got before trying out some other ammos but im almost considering just dumping however much of it i have left if its going to keep causing this.

There is another possible issue with SKSs that can cause this. Can't remember what it was. There is a Murray's youtube video addressing this as well. I will see if I can dig it up for you. Something about chamberwork being the fix.
