Broken firing pin

Post by snake699 »

After closer inspection, I see that my firing pin is broken. I am trying to track down a new one. All the pictures I see of a model8 firing pin do not look like mine. Is there maybe a part number for a 1915 that might help me?

I did see that post. I have the same firing pin but mine is broken off on the back at the end of the flat. I was in contact with Jack First but they are out of stock. They will be making a run but not for about 6 months. The firing pins they have, and that I've seen at Numrich and other sites are all different. I guess I'll just keep looking. Thank you for the response.

Sorry you didn`t have any luck yet. Any chance that you could post a photo of your firing pin ? If you can`t do it you could send the photo to me and I`ll put it up for you. I`ll PM you my email address.
