dangertree, do you think you could order a whack of firing pins from TD? I've heard them breaking from time to time, and they're proprietary...

The firing pin broke just after 449 rounds...

The firing pin is broken on the one I have now, also...

I'm not the original purchaser, but the previous/original owner had already gotten a replacement firing pin from Arms East.

Are they covered under any kind of "factory recall" ??? If not, how much for 3...?
 
TD identified the problem with some earlier firing pins (work hardening in machining) and will replace broken firing pins.
We have replaced about 5 broken firing pins, no charge obviously.

Boomer74, was your TD originally purchased at AEI? I thought I was told that the carbine you own did not come from AEI. If not, is the original vendor not prepared to help?
We certainly do repair anything we sold either directly or through a dealer, but do not provide free warranty work for firearms that we have never had anything to do with. If this firearm came through AEI, and you have a broken firing pin, please do let us know.

I am in the market right now for the 45 acp version, full continuous rail.
Question 1 has the fireing pin issue been resolved ?
Question 2 what does stock look like Im waiting until my birthday as an excuse to the wife for reason of purchase. Can I wait that long or should I put my order in sooner than later?
I emailed thureon defense and was told they have an inbound shipment to Canada but was not sure time of arrival
Thx

1: Yes.
2: If current sales volume holds, we should be out of stock in the next day or two. If your birthday is today, you are in luck! Seriously though, VERY low stock.

Thanks for your questions.
 
Did the second batch you guys got in last summer( the ones shipped with no mag) have improved firing pins?
How much is a firing pin worth?
How many firing pins to you have in stock?
 
I am this close to buying one of the TD9mm in Glock. Only thing holding me back is the firing pin. Could anyone comment on why the firing pin breaks so easily? Is it prone to damage due to dry firing? Any improvements done by the factory?
 
Sounds like they were a bit brittle due to heat treatment and that's been fixed so I wouldn't worry about getting a new one.
If the pins are cheap enough though having a spare is never a bad idea.....

Combination of work-hardening during machining and heat-treatment leading to brittle. At one point they TD firing pins were modified AR firing pins, they are now manufactured from the get-go as a TD pin. I don't have the exact price of the pins with me, but they are less than $20 for sure. Not all earlier pins were potentially bad (there was a couple of generations/batches of evolution), those which do break (and which we imported) will be replaced out of inventory. We don't have enough pins here to sell at the moment (we will later), but we do have enough to replace any that break.

Sounds good.
It never hurts to have spare parts though so be sure and let us know when you have spares available and I will place an order!
Thanks.
 
So would someone comment whether or not dry firing will break the firing pin? Could it be dry fired as much as an AR15?

Any pix of the failure mode of the older firing pins?

(I do not use snap caps and will not be using them anytime in the future)

Hello, Nothing to do with dryfiring. Yes, can be dryfired like an AR15. Revised manufacturing process has already corrected the (potential) issue. Proceed as normal! ;)
 
Mine in 10mm ( such a great caliber, i have the base model )is just an awsome rifle, over 700 rounds and not a single malfunction, and like it was said earlier get some extras mags, i've got a dozen G20 mags from a dealer, and get a Butler creek Luplula, and go for the big fun factor... JP.
 
From all your experiences, are pistol caliber carbines loud? Esp in 18.5"?

Are supersonic 9mm louder than 45acp subsonic?

Could 45acp subsonic be fired without hearing protection?(A couple shots, not extensively)

What about 9mm subsonics?

Lots of questions :p

PM sent...

Yes, it was purchased thru Arms East. And he had already had 1 pin replaced (last summer).


Hope to hear from you soon. Thanx !
 
Those rifles are just well made, i would be very surprised to experience a malfunction, they are as reliable as it get... JP.
 
Just picked up one is .45 yesterday, right before the price increase !
cant wait to throw all my magpul goodies on it and get it to the range.
also curious to find out how it handles hot loads and if my brass catcher will work.

guy i spoke with said all 9mm is sold out for now and there is 1 in 45 left
 
Can anyone tell me if the magpul AFG 1 will fit on the TDC with the side rails or will it hit the side rails? I like the wergonomics of the AFG1.
