Yes, I know. The OP has an AK clone, not an AR.

So the AK repair kit I posted would be worthwhile. I hope.

Colt firing pins are not the same size, so there's the 1%

Just Colt? Are they bigger than the rest? That would explain the replacement fireing pins I bought from CTD that didn't work in my Bushmaster.

old-school colt commercial firing pins have oversized end rings, but they don't do that anymore. i don't know whether the commercial firing pins work in standard carriers- i've never heard that they don't, but that doesn't mean it aint so.

thats kind of a rare thing, especially now that colt has finally ended their decades of deliberate compatibility issues.

Did some fact finding...looks like he means the old school style free-floating pins. All of them are suppossed to be the same size...the exception to that are different callibers.
