[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2776036, member: 17722"] 2012, I took apart one of my M1As set up for hunting and had all metal parts melonited (minus the receiver) I knew enough not to melonite springs, but not thinking about the firing pin. The firing pin tip lasted exactly 220 rounds and then no bang. The very point got nitrided through and through, end result being too brittle and broke clean off It is my truck gun when hunting the border, I shook it down on every range trip to ensure I could trust it to go bang every time. With GI firing pin it still runs flawlessly to date with hundreds of rounds through it. Mated to a GI fiberglass stock, it still goes hunting to the border. Not worried about it rusting. [/QUOTE]
