I've had just enough beer to give it a try. I seen on Youtube where a couple of guys did it and it worked. I have 3 firing pins so I got 2 back ups.Take it off of the leading edge of the shoulder.
Heavier hammer spring may solve steel case problem. Can you measure protrusion of firing pin thru carrier? Calipers with depth guage works.I finally got around to digging this rifle back out and working on it. Even after shaving the firing pin it didn't like steel ammo. Light primer strike on every other round. It did chew through the brass ammo like a fat kid through cake. I set the red dot in and enjoyed firing it. Man it is loud with that 10.5'' barrel but surprisingly accurate.
If you look on page 2, I posted photos of the primer strikes. One of the first things I did was change the firing pin and add a stiffer hammer spring designed to correct this problem.Heavier hammer spring may solve steel case problem.

Picture of light primer strike?
Thanks buddy but i'm in Milton. I have tried 2 different firing pins that are designed to fix this problem with no luck.Leaving from Mary Esther going to Crestview. If you are anywhere near I can drop one off for steel cased and take a few measurements on your FP.

100% That's where I'd be next.Might want to try inserting one of the spent brass ones in the chamber to see if it still drops in..... hopefully no headspace issue
I didn't think about that. I left all the spent brass at the camp. I will get the calipers out this afternoon and check.Might want to try inserting one of the spent brass ones in the chamber to see if it still drops in..... hopefully no headspace issue
Excellent!!! They are alot of fun.Well I'll be damned, that hammer spring came in today, I went out and installed it and shot 5 Tula rounds of steel ammo, some that already had deep primer strikes and it cycled all 5 times. I'm happy now. I have a lot of Wolf and Tula ammo. I love this AK pistol on the AR platform now that it's shooting steel ammo!!
