Firing pins for C96

Ollie,
some of the early models have a single retaining lug; but most of the later ones have two lugs- and I believe they are interchangeable within tolerance limits.

I would if I could. The reason this gun needs a new firing pin is that the old one disintegrated when the guy was trying to pound a stuck case out of the chamber. I don't even have all the parts, so I can't really go that route.

I have looked at how they're advertised, and they will either say "fits the C96" or "fits all C96". I have never seen any of them advertised as "only fits X or Y" etc, so I'm assuming that one size fits all. Just need to verify that, I already have too many incorrectly ordered parts laying around...
