Our Enhanced Firing Pin is designed to work in any AR-15 bolt carrier group to increase reliability in igniting tough Soviet primers. By extending further out of the bolt face, our Enhanced Firing Pin is able to ignite deeply set and hard primers commonly found in most steel cased ammo such as 7.62x39, 5.45x39, as well as steel cased .223 Rem, 6.5 Grendel, etc. Made to the same strict tolerances and with the same materials as Mil-Spec firing pins, our Enhanced Firing Pins are guaranteed to give you a lifetime of reliable and trouble free use!
Mil-Spec AR-15/M16 Firing Pin Protrusion:
.028" - .036"
Bexar Arms 7.62x39 AR-15 Firing Pin Protrusion:
.040" - .050"
Drop in "cassette" style of trigger are not recommended for 7.62x39 AR builds due to the higher chance that their hammer springs are weaker than Mil-Spec style triggers. This may lead to light primer strikes even if used with our Enhanced Firing Pin.
A note from Phillip: In some cases, an Extra Power Hammer Spring may be also be necessary along with this firing pin for reliable primer ignition. We recommend trying the firing pin by itself first before deciding if you need to buy an extra power hammer spring or not. Shooting corrosive ammunition? Consider using one of our Black Nitride gas tubes for increased corrosion resistance and durability!

as soon as i put this in my rifle i shot 2 30 round magazines of steel cased rounds with no duds. with the old pin every other round would not shoot. works great so far, will buy another for spare parts.

EFP
i purchased this enhanced firing pin for a 7.62x39 ar pistol build. I was having issues with hard primers on russian ammo. This EFP fixed it all in under 5 minutes. I highly recommend this EFP for any application using surplus 7.62 ammo. It works! Fast shipping and awesome customer service from Bexar Arms !

necessary upgrade for 7.62 AR
I recently built a 7.62x39 AR and was having a big issue with light primer strikes, after installing the enhanced firing pin, I have yet to have a light primer strike. This is essential if you plan on running Russian ammo.
