Cool post!
it is nice to finally get a look into the NEA production facility. I have heard they make it all in house, its nice to finally put a picture to the visual.
LMFAO...!
That's pretty screwey that a nail exists that is pretty much an 80% firing pin.
Almost makes me wonder what Stoner was up to in his shop back in the day.
Almost like Stoner designed the rifle so that firing pins could be cut from an available nail.
Maybe to save production time and costs.
Either that, or a bubba, years after the fact found a creative use for old firing pins, and it caught on to the point that the market demanded that nail into production.
Like really, what's blowing my mind about this video is the existence of a nail that similar.

That was just to funny ..... Now I have to wait for my pants to dry ....
The nails are used for forms and other temporary construction. The second head is for pulling the nail out when you are done.
And yes that dude is a king among men for noticing that.
LOL. If you have a lathe, forget making firing pins. I have a rather long post over on MSC's gunsmithing forum showing step by step how to make a whole Sten gun from pipe, bar stock and a little sheet metal.
Disclaimer: this was all done back when RCMP was still allowing registered home-made stens.
This is why gun control is stupid. ANYONE with a little effort and readily available tools can make a working firearm. Making full-auto firearms is actually easier than making a semi-automatic!

Way easier! Sputter guns (ie, one trigger pull empties the WHOLE magazine) are dead simple to make. Heck, even the 10/22 select-fire modification wouldn't be terribly difficult.

I'm willing to bet your average gang banger would never figure out how to do it, probably never even be aware of the imprinting technology.
Real problem is the millions of guns already out there that do NOT have this technology, and the fact that many of them will still be working and in good condition 100 years from now. It'll be another case of only legal gun owners will have "imprinting" guns.
And that is not even the worst issue with the idea. Apparently the micro stamping wears off the firing pin in a ridiculously small amount of ammo being fired. As in ten rounds in a huge amount of cases.
From Gunfacts:
And the reference
They are not totally retarded, after the first guy gets snapped with this it will become common knowledge and they will juts run a few mags through their guns before they do their crimes.

You got a link for that. I bet it would be a fun read
I'd like to read that too. Sounds like a cool read.
