I have one of the near evil banned list Intratec Tec-22 Scorpions. These guns use a bolt from 10/22s, extractors, a few other parts. The gun itself is one of my most fun plinkers other than my PLR-16 and of course my AKs. It runs 30 round magazines of 22LR in about 15 seconds just in semi auto mode. The problem with the gun is the steel that Intratec used for the firing pin is junk, close to pot metal so every owner of these guns has a breaking of firing pin every 200 to 800 rounds or so. The replacement parts are nearly impossible to obtain and are 60.00 and are still the same junk metal.
Is there a way to home harden a metal do it yourself style? I've run into this on extractors for some guns like ARs. If I use a Colt or Bushmaster part, it lasts for several thousand rounds, some 1500 rounds in their cheap soft form.
