    I just purchased a new bcg and I'm having alot of play with the firing pin, when assembled the firing pin slide back n forth with ease, now I've had other bcg that the firing pin had some play in it but not very much.. I took it apart, everything looks nice , I reassembled it and still alot of play with the firing pin.. what's the issue? I'm new to the Ar platform so seeking advice....

    AR firing pin is free floating without a spring, etc.....it should move free....oil it up with ample.Mobil 1 and have at it.....headspace your bolt to your barrel too...

    Yes as in moving back and forth, if I shake the bcg the firing pin moves with ease back and forth
