I thought the firing pin was that piece of metal?

I was under the impression it's 3.7 oz. of stainless steel.

From the instructions:
--- Quote ---Once the frame is finished, epoxy a 1.19x1.19x0.99" block of steel in the 1.2x1.2x1.0" hole in front of the trigger guard. Add the bottom cover over the metal if you don't want it to show.
Once the epoxy has tried, the steel is no longer removable, and is an integral part of the frame. Now your gun has ~6 ounces of steel and is thus considered a 'detectable' firearm. So now you can print all the other parts.

Yes, the firing pin is a nail, but my guess is the nail by itself doesn't meet the minimum weight and is also a removeable part of the gun -- it must be integral from what I understand.
Les:
Interesting, the metal is simply ballast and not functional. I suppose one could sandwich 1/4" pieces 1.19x1.19 to get the requisite thickness? That is, if one was so inclined.
