Murray's firing pin

[squirrelnuttz]

Okay here's the fact's about the spring loaded pin;
If you use it only use reloaded or newwly manufactured ammo.
Surplus or the Nork ammo use the stock free floating firing pin.
The key is the hard primer. If you do reload why not use the CCI hard primer that most M14 users use.
If you use the Murray pin with the surplus ammo. Not today but after time you run the risk of breaking the pin or pericing the primer and cause little shards blowing back into the bolt causing it to stick and causing slam fire.
Hence why they phased it out over the years.
Now if you live in a area or only shoot at a range that only allows you to use the newly manufactured or reloaded ammo then this is the ticket for you.
*But Be Sure To Buy The Right Model For Your Rifle. *

This is true.Had it happen.Installed Murray pin kit, used surplus.Pin struck discs off primer face, they blew back, lodged in the channel, accumulated and jammed the pin forward, causing multiple slamfires (3 rd.burst).Both Murray supplied springs were wrecked while disassembling.Back to stock mode.
