Have had 6 xcr's and never a broken pin. Can't honestly say I put 1000's of rounds down any one of them, but I have never experience a failure of any kind other than last 2 rounds ftf on ASC 762 mags.
Good to know , Wolverine Supplies thought it was strange too and figure there may be an issue with the bolt ... thing is, they were two separate bolts / uppers. Once in 556 and the other in 7.62x39. I've never had an issue with my XCR-M, but just in case I ordered a couple spare.

You know, I had some firing pin problems with my .556 L upper's bolt, none with my 6.8, or my .308. Oh, when I talked to Robarms back then Alex was gold and the girl I talked to as well offered up firing pins. I had already ordered from Wolverine. They absolutely rock by the way. XDMER, it could be a bolt issue, I heard somewhere about another platform with similar problems and it was an offset hole issue.
Well, I guess that potentially disproves the theory that the Type 2 solved the broken firing pin issue.
I just looked at my -M. Does seem the firing pin is an improved design (though I didn't take it out of the carrier completely...just looked at the exposed end).
I wonder how many users have experienced a Type 2 BCG with a broken firing pin. Might have to join a Canadian forum to find out since this one is so dead and finding US users is so rare.
This YouTuber was very reverent about his XCR when he purchased it, but now he sounds rather heartbroken after a firing pin breakage with steel cased ammo:
