What are some strange things that have caused your gun to fail?
I just got done taking apart the bolt in my shotgun and found my firing pin snapped clean in half. How does this even happen?
I bent the spring getting the broken firing pin out so as far as I know it was fine before I got it out.
FWIW the gun is close to 60 years old so anything could've failed at any time, but everything was working fine until the firing pin snapped and it stopped striking the primers.
New firing pin and spring ordered for a total of $13.48, so all is well, but wtf??
