Can you put up a pic of what a broken firing pin looks like?
I could probably machine you a new one by just copying my existing one.
Any mods you would like?

+1 on a nice option! I could go for having an after-market spare on hand "just in case"!

OK. Here is the tough question.
How much would you pay for a replacement firing pin?

If I made a thousand or more, sure.
Design / program time $60.00 Hr.
Machine set up $100.00 Hr. + proofing the program
Machine run $150.00 Hr.
Inspect $30.00 Hr.
Heat treat $150.00 a batch
Looks like about $350.00 for one part.
If someone would like to pony up the cash for 150 (or more) firing pins we can both make some money over the longer run.
PM me and we can go over the numbers

That's what I was afraid of. But it would look great in the shop at Tacticool22.com - Parts, Tools, Accessories, and Resources for 22 Caliber Firearms

I might make one or two just to do it and just eat the designing CAD/CAM/CNC work. I can probably get them put in a batch of similar items for heat treat.

Are broken firing pins common in the 15 22?.....If so I will get my friend the gunsmith to order me a few.
I have been shooting many many firearms for over 56 years and have never broken a pin.

Same here.
This is only the second report I remember reading about on the forum. I have a hard time believing S&W doesn't have any; they haven't stopped production and sales of the 15-22, so there has to be some available.

Possible, I guess, but doubtful. I've never personally seen a rimfire firing pin broken from dry-firing, but I think it would take thousands of dry-fires to do it.

Don't think it's common but this rifle has been working hard. We practice every weekend with the team for couple years. 5-7k rounds would be my best guess.
No dry fire.

That's really not much usage over a couple of years. I bought mind in December and have 5K through it.
I wonder how many cases of this S&W has actually seen.

Don't know but I was shocked when they back ordered it, would think there would be a bin full of them somewhere.
Guess they want me to buy another rifle and have a spare just in case

Surprising that as popular as the 15-22 is that no one has parts for it.

I would call back and ask for a supervisor. I don't believe they don't have any. I bet if you send it in for repair, you'll have it back in a couple of weeks.

Got to have a license from S&W to make proprietary parts, such as the BCG. That, the upper, lower and barrel are about the only things that aren't directly replaceable with AR parts. Replacement barrels are available from at least one other company.
Contrary to what a lot of folks think, there are many firearms for which third-party parts are not available.

If something is not branded as a certain company, why would there need to be a license?

Taurus, for one, does not authorize third-part parts for their firearms, except magazines.

"Authorized" third-party parts
That's different than making replacement parts.
Or my own proprietary parts for people to buy.

Just out of curiosity, if someone had said "not-authorized" firing pin in their firearm and something unrelated happened, and needed to send their firearm in for service but forgot to take that pin back out would that void a warranty?

I had a firing pin in a Colt AR-15 break.
Anything made by man can break.

What is your serial number pre-fix? It might help others to be on the look out, as perhaps that run of fireing pins had some metal fatigue......best regards Plum

They made a run of them in late june/early july. check around and you may find them in stock someplace.
I ordered them from SW back in april (site said they had them ) and I got the 25rd right away, the 10s were on B/O. I saw on midways site an expected delivery of late June so I called SW first week of july and got them to send me 2. So they do, er, did, exits a few weeks ago.

For legal liability reasons they all say that. Every company that makes anything. I had a fast food restaurant manager ask me to throw out my kids food because it wasn't bought there and their explanation was 'we're liable for all food consumed on the premises and since we didn't cook that we can't let you eat it here".
