I've made fireing pins for quite a few guns to include #1 and #4 rolling blocks. Is there something unique about a #5 ?

Thank you Kent, no sir was just noticing how important it is to get the rear of the pin rounded just right to allow the hammer to lock up against the block . Took me awhile to get it right, you know, file & fit, file & fit. As you know the FP travels at an up-ward angle, and by putting a small angle on the end of the FP i get center strikes on my primers (45-70), at least for my RB.
