Product Description

Black Rifle Arms® is one of the original manufacturer's of Enhanced Firing Pins with over 13 years of redesigning our enhanced firing pins to ensure positive ignition on notorious hardened primers found in the 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 steel case ammunition.

Enhanced Firing Pins Are Engineered to Maintain Mil-Spec Characteristic Where the Firing Pin Interfaces Inside the Bolt and Still Allow Greater Protrusion Into the Primer

PLEASE NOTE: Overall Length is irrelevant to the performance of our enhanced firing pin. We designed our enhanced firing pin with multiple dimensional changes beyond overall length.
Tula Ammunition and Golden Tiger have issues where some primers are set too far in and will still cause light strikes even with an enhanced firing pin. For these issues we recommend using THE ENHANCED PLUS FIRING PIN
We highly recommend sticking to steel case ammunition such as Wolff or Silver Bear for best performance

Top quality and performance

Very pleased with this firing pin and BRA's service. I bought a couple cases of Golden Tiger .223 ammo from an online retailer and had a about 40% failure to fire rate out of my AR. Ordered this firing pin and got it in a couple of days. The fit and finish is truly excellent and clearly better apparent quality than the pin that came in my Mil-Spec BCM bolt carrier group. Regardless, I popped in and tried shooting the GT .223 ammo again. It worked 100% And even fired the previous FTFs. I then tried the pin on several "normal" .223/5.56 loads to make sure that it wasn't going to pierce any primers. Zero pierced primers out of 120 rounds! I tried it on Wolf/Barnaul .223 55gr, Federal/Lake City m855 and m193, PPU .223 55gr, Carl Gustaf m855, and Hornady TAP Training steel case. Looking at the fired primers, it is clear that the firing pin is making a slightly deeper impression, but from what I can see the metal doesn't at all look stretched or distressed. I would recommend this firing pin to anyone.

Your enhanced firing pin works great. It fixed my Colt AR 7.62x39 light strike problem; fires every time. It even fired the light strikes from previous attempts. Thanks.

Problem solved! My new AR would only fire about 50% of steel case rounds. Installed this enhanced firing pin and Wolf spring. Gun now shoots 100% and even fired the rounds that previously wouldn't fire. Must have for a 7.62x39 AR15.

Not bad

Bought this because of the reviews. I shot 40rds of monarch steel case no problem. Tulaammo though, I had 4 light primer strikes out of 80rds. All 4 did fire on 2nd try. Just expected better from reading the reviews. 4 out of 80 isn't horrible I guess. On the plus side shipping was extremely fast.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WE SPECIFICALLY CALL OUT IN UNDER OUR DISCLAIMER TAB THAT: Tula Ammunition and Golden Tiger have issues where some primers are set too far in and will still cause light strikes even with an enhanced firing pin. We highly recommend sticking to steel cause ammunition such as Wolff or Silver Bear.

Fixed my AR47

Was bummed when I built my 7.62 AR and it would barely fire any rounds. Put in the enhanced firing pin and power hammer spring and it fired every single round and even the old rounds that the stock firing pin didn’t fire.

Reviewed by: A from Detroit on 1/28/2021

I love it!

This thing works great! Before I had this, every few rounds was a light strike. I have put more than 100rds through my weapon with this, and have yet to have a light strike. I'll probably get a spare to keep on hand. THX

Works for PSA KS-47

I had trouble firing Red Army Standard ammunition after buying my KS and was disappointed because I have 1000rds of it. When I got this firing pin I measured it with calipers and noticed it is longer than the KS pin. The KS pin is barely longer than the standard 5.56 pin, but this BRA pin is definitely long enough to get the job done. I've had no issues with light strikes since I swapped. Totally worth $11 for reliability!

Works perfectly.

Build an AR 7.62x39 with an 8.5" barrel. I knew once I made it the gun might have light strike issues due to reviews on most BCGs for AR 7.62 platform. I build the AR, took it to the range to adjust the gas block for proper ejection angle and LRBHO. One in five rounds failed to fire. Put the BRA enhanced firing pin in went back and not one problem. I will say the firing pin I took out looked like it pretty generic rough cast. Note: I am running an ALG defense trigger group with the 4.5lb trigger spring. If you run the standard 6 lb., I am sure you'll be fine. Really like the new firing pin. It was nicely machined. I could not be happier. I heard this item is compatible with AR 5.45x39 build, but I will need to verify it.

Q: Will the enhanced firing pin work with Anderson manufacturing AM 15

Asked by: Keith Goss - 4/20/2025

A: It should work fine. If AM15 takes a mil-spec firing pin then this firing pin will work with the AM15 rifles.

Q: I have been having an issue with my firing pins breaking. The latest firing pin I tried broke after only two rounds being cycled through it. I use Belom ammo (7.62x39). Will your enhanced firing pin fix this issue? Thanks

Asked by: Jeremy - 3/9/2025

A: You should have no issues running our firing pins with steel case ammunition. If running BCA firing pins it's a known issue with them breaking prematurely.

Answer provided by: Administrator (3/11/2025)

Q: What do the pin do

Asked by: Jr - 1/28/2025

A: Ensure positive ignition on notorious hardened primers found in the 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 steel case ammunition

Answer provided by: Administrator (2/21/2025)

Q: Hi when is the deep set pin required?

Asked by: Chris DeLuco - 1/2/2025

A: When you come across ammunition that has deeper set primers that enhanced firing pins are not igniting then you may have deeper set primers and need a little more protrusion to set them off.

Q: I wanted to know if this would work in my psa 7.62x39?? 7.5 upper

Answer provided by: Administrator (12/2/2024)

Q: Please confirm that the Enhanced Firing Pin and Enhanced Firing Pin Plus will work in a mil spec AR-15 chambered in 5.56 or 300 Blackout.

Asked by: Vadim - 9/16/2024

A: Our enhanced firing pins will work in any mil-spec bolt assembly; however, we do not recommend using them in other calibers outside what is stated as it can cause pierced primers. If you are getting light lights strikes with a 5.56, 300BLK something else is going on.

Answer provided by: Administrator (9/24/2024)

Q: Would this firing pin fit in a 5.56 bolt carrier?

Asked by: Asher - 8/10/2024

A: Yes this will fit any mil-spec AR-15 bolt; however, if you are having light strikes in a 5.56 there is another issue going on as 5.56 don't require enhanced firing pins. An enhanced firing pin in a 5.56 can cause pierced primers.

Answer provided by: Administrator (8/29/2024)

Q: I have a 45 ACP upper that just dents the primer without firing, will this firing pin work?

Asked by: Daniel Cantonwine - 7/20/2024

A: The enhanced firing pin will most likely pierce primers. If you are having light strikes it can be from improper hammer spring install, a binary trigger or something else may be going on, but we don't recommend using enhanced firing pin due to the risk of piercing primers.

Answer provided by: Administrator (7/23/2024)

Q: I am looking to upgrade my rifles firing pins due to light strikes on wolf ammo. Can you tell me which pins to buy for a 300 blackout, .223 and .308. I see the enhanced pin 5.45 x 39 which I would guess would be ok for 300 blackout and 223? Thank you Chris

Asked by: chris valken - 5/27/2024

A: Enhanced firing pins are for the x39 calibers only due to the harder primers. If your 300BLK is having like strikes with your standard AR-15 firing pin it is most likely due to an improper installed hammer spring, if hammer spring is installed correctly it maybe due to your fire control group or your carrier riding down.
