firing pin broke even i use snap cap.....

[spearhead]

my cz 75b firing pin broke last December and until now - not able to find here in our local gun dealers for firing pin replacement,


i've been dry firing it everyday but i use snap caps as suggested by my friends - not to damage firing pin but i was surprised it still broke,


i want to know if any of you guys encountered this problem with you firing pin....


thanks!!

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. I certainly haven't heard of a firing pin breaking whne a snap cap is in place. As for a replacement you would proberly do better to oder one from CZ-USA. http://shop.cz-usa.com/P-0420063271/Firing-Pin-B-Style.aspx 18.00 US and apparently they have 62 on hand at this point. They do say and I quote "INSTALLATION BY A QUALIFIED QUNSMITH IS REQUIRED", no offense intended Ihave no idea if you are one or not. But I figured I should at least add it.

tanx GhostWarrior,
 
ill check with cz usa, if they can ship it directly with no problem to my place,
 
im not a gunsmith :D :D :D ,
 
i was able to remove the broken f. pin from the instructions i get  on how to remove and replace firing pin,
 
i will still check if a gunsmith is available here in our place,

They'll have to ship it to an FFL holder.  A friend of mine wanted a revised trigger spring for his Savage Mark II BTVS, and they would not ship it to him directly.
