Ted, out of a quarter million Parker’s that have integral strikers how many have you ever seen broken? I use Parker’s as an example because so many were made. A huge number of Birmingham guns have the same strikers and how many of those have you seen broke? Not to argue but curious. Every 100 + year old set disc striker I’ve ever seen has been stuck and even the best smith’s have had a devil of a time removing them.
