Parts breakage...

[mggunner34]

So I managed to break the little arm on the firing pin lever on my bolt head, I switched the bolt carrier out with a newer and nicer looking one, reassembled, and attempted to function test. the weapon was empty with the top cover closed, I pulled the trigger and witnessed a spark fly out of the left side of the feed tray as the bolt closed.

Now since the gun dry fires itself after the last round of ammo has been fired and ejected it shouldn't hurt to dryfire it, or am I incorrect on this?

I assume that the issue is that I changed the carrier and it could have a slightly different engagement area which caused this to break. or do these just break on their own after time?

Are you talking about the bolt firing pin trip on the 34. Could you post some pictures.

I should add that the spark that I saw flying out of the left side of the feed tray was the tiny piece of firing pin trip
