Firing pin

Edward Tinker · 05-06-2003, 11:48 PM

I don't know enough about firing pins, although a friend of mine who is a pretty good guy to know, says that if you have to have a mismatching part, the firing pin was one very likely to have been replaced in the field or armoury, he feels that it isn't that same as a mis-matched side-plate, or other parts. Many will disagree with that. From what I have heard, the fluted ones were put in many older guns. I didn't think it was in the 1930's tho? I thought it was much earlier?

We'll get you a response, sorry about you being ignored. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
