Just made my second ever holster and I want to know some opinions, tips, and suggestions for the process.

Used a small microwave oven thing to heat at 320 degrees. Put the kydex in the wooden press, did the whole shebang. Used a dremmel tool to cut, sand, and clean up the edges. Used parts from Amazon for the belt attachment and hood for the retention device.

I did accidentally cut too much material on the bottom, so I will eventually lace some kind of rope or something to prevent it from being pulled from the back.

Questions: how do you guys clean the inside of the holster after you've made it and what should I do about the screws that are sticking in a bit deep? Ive tried running a toothbrush in it and a towel but when I draw my firearm it keeps pulling more material. Im also afraid that the screw, and mounts, may scratch my firearm when unholstering.

So, for this being my second holster that ive made, and it being my first duty level, what do yall think?

I am looking into making my own molds at some point and getting my hands on a band saw at some point as a dremmel is no-where near as precise as I need.

Inherited this recently and it has a light hammer striking problem. I've only worked on striker fire handguns, standard AR-15 rifles, and a pump shotgun with my specialty being in handguns.

In the first picture, the item circled; is that the firing pin? Im assuming it is, but cant find many pictures that resemble it correctly. The back end looks like its damaged or it snapped off something, and the rest of the internals look pretty rough.

Tried looking into my firearm Bible book but it had a different model, one with a cocking hammer, and didn't go into detail about fully stripping the rifle. Any help would be appreciated!

edit Found the part on numrich gun parts, thanks for the help!

Took of the crankcase cover to replace the seal in hopes of repairing the oil leak, found the stator and other part looking like this. Is it supposed to look like that or am I boned?

Mostly concerned with the orange parts peeking through. For reference, replaced the seal, put a new battery in, and changed the oil and now it won't start. Nothing lights up, so I'm testing the battery in the morning just in case its a simple fix. Would like your guys' and gals opinions.
