Twice in less that three days I've dealt with two different factory *new* rifles (one in 6.5-300Wthby and the other in 338 Lap Mag) that dismantled their own firing pins in a half box of ammo. Two different manufactures, but in both cases the recoil of 10 rounds unseated the set screw that locks the firing pin to the cocking piece. Both had progressively lighter primer strikes until they misfired, barely marking the primer.
Fix is simple enough, tighten with a drop of the blue goo and added a second screw to lock the first in place.
