Crikey!  How did you manage that?.  Personally I'd replace it. Bending it back could work harden it.  It can be done but it's a critical part of the firing assembly and must be dead concentric to the boltface hole.  Replacements are a bit spendy at £146 for a spare from Brownells but you could try GMK as they should be able to get one direct for you.  Alternatively perhaps a gunsmith on here can sort that one with a bit of heat treatment and check concentricity for you?

Slightly off topic, but I got a spare firing pin assy for a Tikka M595 from Edgar Bros., through a local RFD....£50, came assembled with spring etc. ready to drop in.

I’ve straightened one before and it was fine. Worth trying, if it fails down the line then you are no worse of and need to replace it.
