darrylta Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 There should be a firing pin spring in your Christie kit. Using it without one would definitely damage the pin. It's always best to do a strip down on a new gun to look for problems and give it a good cleaning before using. I'd recommend using one of Christie's titanium pins ($50) on the rebuild, there much better than the originals. Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
