Are broken firing pins a common occurrence with the BBS or is this a extremely rare thing?
Several years ago, I had to have one replaced on my H006M. The rifle was fairly new at the time, maybe a year or less, but I made weekly trips to the range. It was a quick turn around and I've had no issues since.
Things happen. :roll:

Best I recall, this is this first time I've heard about any broken firing pins in the Henry rifles.

I looked back and found a thread where it was discussed.

I mailed it off to Henry on Mar 31st. They were really good in notifying me they received it and when it was shipped back. Arrived today so its been less than 2 weeks. When I called them and told them i had the bolt apart they said to put the parts in a bag and not to bother putting it back in the rifle. Repair order says the replaced the bolt (it is a new one) adjusted lockup and test fired 5 rounds. Its interesting that they just didn't fix firing pin and reassemble bolt.
