Hello all,

I just wondering if the Imperial Era firing pin can interchangeable with WWII Era ones, seem a bit longer? I have try but it can't knock into a cocking piece from 1940's. Sorry for a silly question, thanks!
 
They should be interchangeable, if it seems longer then I would measure it and if it is then obviously you shouldn't use it. Bolts from a Gew.98 should work in a 98k, 98a, 98b equally well, assuming the headspace is good (I have never encountered a problem where a "German" military rifle failed a field gage)
