I need to make some firing pins for my old sidelock shotgun. I was going to use silver steel (o1), but what do you all normally use for firing pins ?
Is this drill rod the same as drill bits are made from?
If so, a hardware store twist drill could be selected of the appropriate size, cut or ground to the correct size and heat treated to reduce brittleness. (I may need to do this in the future.)

It's all hot air. We lose more ground when Republicans are in charge, than Democrats, in my lifetime. Anti-gunners wouldn't have an evil opponent to help them raise money if they suddenly woke up and they got their way. So they will always be a bit self-sabotaging in order to maintain "job security" *eyerollI suppose its a nervous time for you lads who are gun owners and enthusiasts in the USA ? If it gets the same over there as it is over here, you're screwed.
I make custom bolt handles essentially exclusively from grade 8 bolts. They work flawlessly, are cheap, and Weld/machine easily. I have made a bunch of “Cut down” Mauser firing pins from O-1, after the titanium stuff stopped being available all of which seem to still work AFAIK.
