Scratched Firing Pin

[MNBowBender]

I recently purchased a new Tikka T3X 7RM. After roughly 150 Rds I disassembled to the bolt to inspect it and noticed two scratches / gouges that run down the length of firing pin. The gun shoots great and has never misfired or had a soft strike. Is this something to be concerned about?

Thanks in advance.

the firing pin doesn’t move all that much, if the groove is all the way down it, I’d say it just came from the factory that way. Not sure it be to concerned about it, maybe annoyed they didn’t pick it up during Q/C, but not sure it’s a big deal. Can you post pics?

I also noticed the same thing today on my 223 t3x. No clue if it is an issue or not but I'm gonna choose not to worry about it for now

Replace it? They can't be expensive.
