This one is obviously the first rnd fired and the pin was damaged thereafter. Weird...

This is the 3rd firing pin I have had go on me in as many months. I mean, I know this gun is "new" to me but old at the same time, but I just got back a Rossi 357 because it's firing pin shore off and a Smith 6906 wasn't firing for a bad firing pin.

If you dry fire a lot, make sure you are putting a spent case in the chamber to absorb the blow of the firing pin. With a rimfire, if you don't have a dummy case in there, the firing pin slams into the chamber of the rifle every time you dry fire it. This can cause them to break off in very short order.

However you got the firing pins from may have gotten a batch which wasn't heat treated correctly. If they are not tempered deeply enough they'll be too hard and brittle. If you can try to get your next pin from a different source and hopefully that one will be from a different batch.

Do Not dry fire a lot and you won't break so many firing pins.

Order a real Marlin firing pin from Marlin or Brownell's and it won't break again unless you dry-fire a lot.
