Olle, some time ago [years] I recall someone retipping the broken Nambu firing pin with a SHCS drilled/tapped/threaded into the end of the firing pin and then turned to shape. It also had two flats so it could be replaced easily. I kind of stuck that away in my chamberpot of a memory, for a 'rainy day'.

Haven't had to try it, but I thought it was an interesting idea...I can't recall where I read it...

I'm not really into silver-soldering or brazing...I've done/do both, it's just not my thing...
