Identify firing pin.
Have got about 20 of these but no clue what it's for.
Have looked thru all the reference and gun parts books with no idea. Must be a Machine firing pin. Covered in thick dried on cosmoline when I got them.
Measurements 4.25 long, and 3/8 a widest point in center
Thanks dave

It is a good pic, but some sort of size/dimension would help your case. 0 -
Looking at it from a machinist/gunsmith/former firearms mfg., intrigued. Quite a bit of machining needed for?? Can't wait for an answer, you got me stumped!! 0 -
Just a guess, I couldn't find anything exactly like it.
It has the form of a Czechoslovakian {cz?} or a Wathers firing pin.
Perhaps some obscure foreign machine gun??0 -
Hmmmm looks familiar but I cant place it. 0 -
I also found some US M-73 machine gun parts as well as M-2 parts, in the box. But firing pins don't go to these.
Wondering if the these go to the Tanks 75 mm gun ?0 -

Don't think so. See the groove cut along the top of your pin all the way from the primer to the other end??
That's for gas escape from pieced primer, don't need that in a cannon.
Does get close to cross between a m60 and a m2hb???0 -
Like a cross between a MP-9 and a early wartime P-38.
Like 49 Harley said, that would be an expensive piece to machine.
The design shows it's struck with a hammer, and auto or semi auto.0 -
the oval 'slot' looks like the one in a martini fireing pin. 0
