Did you confirm they would fix your firing pin if it breaks? If not, I would.

I have not seen a written policy. The man I spoke to said it is a "world wide" policy and does not matter where the firearm or firearms are located. He said he has 17 firearms in his collection, and he does have this coverage. He stated I don't need an actual appraisal( my value is fine) and none of the firearms could be considered antiques. The policy does cover replacement cost.
None of that means they will fix your firing pin if you break it. An earlier post indicates you believe they will fix your firing pin if you break it.

I was told they will pay to fix my firing pin if I break it. Might have been just Puffing. However, until proven otherwise, I will take it at face value. USAA has never lied to me and has always had my back.
Who said anything about anyone lying?

Will they fix your tv or washer if it breaks also? Typically, insurance covers damage or loss from a covered cause of loss. I don't think a firing pin breaking from normal use is a covered cause of loss.
My original home owners does not cover things such as the firing pin.....you are correct. However the rider will.

Edit: Nevermind. I should googled before I asked. Easy answer.
I have the same question. My Savage 99 is 1928 vintage.....sooo? I'll ask them for their definition.
You may want to get that in writing.
