Kevin,

BESA does not have a round firing pin tip. Tip is the same shape as the Bren gun firing pin. You would have an oblong dent in the striker.

Cheers,

Cheers,
Marc, do you happen to have a tool roll for your besa?. I've got nearly all the contents but am missing the roll. Never seen one before, only in this pic.

Originals are very hard to find, though I do have one. I think Cobbaton had some reproduced.
