My best friend, and shooting buddy has a DSA SA58 Tactical Carbine. (.308)Great rifle, I was very impressed after shooting it.
Here's the problem, about two weeks ago his firing pin basically self-destructed. (shattered, from his description) I wasn't there when it happened, but he was shooting Remington Core-Lokt softpoints I believe, which functioned fine in the past.
Every once in awhile he noticed light primer strikes, especially with mil-surp ammo. He spoke to DSA on the phone and they told him to make up a list for them: Lubricant used on the rifle, solvent type, ammunition used, approx. round count, etc. Rifle was then shipped to them.
I would have liked to personally take the rifle apart to see what actually happened or what components broke. However, I am not very familiar with FALs.
I am by no means trying to bash DSA. My understanding is the FAL is built like a tank. I've wanted one for some time now.
Anyway, I will keep everyone informed when DSA gets back to him with what caused the failure and their solution.
