MURRAYS SKS FIRING PIN

Overpriced piece of junk!

Don't waste money just keep your's clean. Went threw both springs in like 30 rounds and now got to buy the original one again ( doing to old one being bent) and those are getting hard to find.

It's a cool looking firing pin that I bought to use for brass cases. However, it's so cheap to buy and use the steel case stuff. That's where I had the problems. I would estimate about a 10% - 15% ignition failure rate with steel case ammo. I reinstalled the old firing pin and now I have no problems. Would not recommend for steel cased ammo.

keep it as the russians designed. keep your orgianl clean and it will never fail. i went through hell with this pin. DO NOT BUY

i bought this product after no problems with slam-fire but didn't want to experience the problem with my norinco sks after 60 rounds the spring was bound up in the Firing pin channel i replaced the spring with the included one and it will not come out still of the bolt i am going to have to buy a new bolt :( terrible product do not buy unless all you shoot is brass cased american ammo

At first I loved it until I fired my first 100 rounds through my sks. The spring got bound up into the bolt and it took some time to get it out and replace the spring. After another 200 rounds or so the back end of the pin (where the hammer strikes) broke off and was getting stuck. I took it out shooting about a week later and it stopped firing. So I disassembled the bolt and the firing pin just fell right out and it was in two pieces. I am very displeased with this product. And yes I do thoroughly clean my rifle after every use.

After 30 or so rounds the spring compressed and pieces broke off jamming the firing pin in the firing pin channel, so it wouldn't fire. Replaced the spring with the one replacement it comes with and the same thing happened after about 30-40 rounds. What a waste of money.

I Installed this product in my SKS and Put 200rds (WOLF) thru my SKS to make sure it ran right. i did have a few light primer strikes, so i inspected my rifle and i found that the firing pin broke (Big Chunk Missing from rear of Firing Pin) and my bolt had whats called Volcanoeing which it never had prior to installation. When i removed the firing pin i also noticed that the return spring already lost its spring tension after only 200rds. i highly recommend that you just maintain your rifle properly..................just a tip to Murray's, the hammer does not hit the rear of the firing pin square, it hits at a angle, take a look at a factory SKS firng pin and you'll see what i mean THANKS

Made an unsafe sks useable. After repeated cleaning and servicing, rifle would still occasionly slam fire. Installed this enhanced firing pin and solved the problem. I could not be happier

Super easy instal.
fixed problems of popped primers for me.
Super fast shipping.

This ia a must do fix on all SKS rifles, in my opinion.

Worked great for about 600 rounds, then the head of the firing pin broke off inside the rifle.

My friends yugo failed to fire multiple times at the range. So, he sold it to me as junk. I havent tested it too mutch yet, but it is a drasticly better design. when you see it you will know it will solve the problem, forever.

this is a very easy fix to a potentially deadly situation. I have only had my SKS about a month and found out about slam fires while doing general research. It only take a few minutes to make this fix and make yourself and others safe.

After haveing a slamfire in my sks I did some searching on the internet. This firing pin is easy to install and works with my Yugo with no problems. With thousand of rounds before and hundreds after the only diffrence is that I KNOW there will NEVER be another slam fire with my gun. Don't wait for a slam fire to happen before you get one of these. get one now and avoid an accident.

This is a well-engineered replacement firing pin for SKS rifles and will prevent dangerous "slam-fires". The most difficult part in the replacement process is driving the retaining pin out of the bolt. Once the retaining pin is out, the old firing pin will just slide out of the bolt and the new one drops right in. Make sure to push in on the rear of the new firing pin when re-installing the retaining pin in the bolt because the new firing pin is spring loaded. It took me all of 20 minutes to install my new SKS firing pin.

This should be on every SKS, a must have safety feature. thank you Brownells and Ben Murray!

Bought a yugo sks and it would dent the primers but no bang.Very bad situation to be in.Ordered one of these firing pin kits and it worked perfectly.........Very pleased.

Very well made part - hard, straight, and works as advertised. It's hard to spend [$] on a hundred dollar rifle, but this is worth the money in both safety and reliability. Be sure to check the firing pin hole for a burr that will cause blown primers. Murray's has a page on this on their website - take a look and avoid frustration and damage from blown primers. This mod is needed on any SKS with a floating firing pin. Once you've had a slam-fire or had the gun go full auto and dump the entire magazine, you'll wish you had done this sooner.

I have this item and several other from Murray's. Highly Recommend.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

my sks was unsafe with the old firing pin. the new pin installs very simple works great.will be using this gun more
