john campbell Posted 18 April Share Posted 18 April Looking for firing pin for Walther KK-Match firing pin for dry firing. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinC Posted 22 April Share Posted 22 April Hi John, No no else has asked so I will!!! Why do you want a firing pin just for dry firing? Sounds like a lot of hassle changing it just to dry fire? And then presumably change back to the "shooting one"? Just use the normal bolt and pin for dry firing, and use snap caps, or empty cases to protect the pin. Also KK Match parts are are as rare as rocking horse excrement! Have Fun Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim s Posted 22 April Share Posted 22 April Aren't there two types that aren't mutually interchangeable (unlike Anschutz 14xx w/ and w/o the signal pin) as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim s Posted 25 April Share Posted 25 April That's an odd occurrence. I wonder if it's related to the thickness of the rim. Does the same thing happen with spent cases? bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinC Posted 26 April Share Posted 26 April John Difficult to accurately assess when its not in front of you, but that sounds like its rim thickness on the snap caps, there is a mania with some people for setting head space down as tight as it can go, so maybe that's been done in the past by a previous owner. Walthers have always set that to work on a range of ammo, and having had them from GX1's (same action as yours) though KK300's, and now KK500's, and they shoot superbly with the factory setting with most good ammo, we have always used RWS R50, and generally unless a special request Walther testing is done with it.

tim s Posted 26 April Share Posted 26 April Robin, I was thinking of the extractor claw rather than headspace. I've not shot a KKM in twenty years, but I've had no issues with NSRA snap caps in Anschutz rifles with tight-ish headspace, around 0.041in. Edit- I was thinking how the rim would affect the contact between the firing pin and the trigger, as only the bolt body would move. But the KKM has the safety in the bolt doesn't it. If the rim is pushing the bolt body back against the locking recesses more than usual, is the safety pulling the firing pin off the sear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
