Enlarged fire pin hole
Hello,
I have a New Model 3 where the primers are binding because of an enlarged pin hole. Is there a solution to this?
Thanks,
Herman

I should have mentioned that it is an antique Smith & Wesson.
After a shot has been fired, I have to help the cylinder rotate with my hand. The primers have the print of the oval hole after being fired.

If it's enlarged from use a good smith might be able to but a bushing in it, but I'm not all that familiar with this model. The solution can work on other firearms

If the hole in the firing pin bushing is enlarged that much then the gun needs a new bushing. I would have referred you to "Old West Gunsmith" in times past, but apparently that business has been closed.
A firing pin bushing is really quite simple and any competent gunsmith should be able to do the work.

Thanks. I was hoping a bushing would be possible on a gun like that.
Herman.
