Firing pin drawings
 

I seem to have added a circa 1891 Parker Grade 2 10 gauge hammer gun to my accumulation .

I wanna have new firing pins made for the gun . Does anyone have drawings for them and if so might I be able to obtain a copy ?

Dunno if I am calling it correctly but the ones on this gun seem to be held in place by a sort of set screw in the side rather than a top nut you see on some of the other Parker hammer guns .

May I ask Why do you need new ones made?

They are not only turned, but also have a milled slot in them for the retaining screw.

These appear to have been made from something other then steel .

FWIW I have a mill and lathe so milled slots are no big deal .

The originals were nickel plated steel.

These almost appear to be aluminum although whatever they are they will set a primer off .

Anyway is there anyway I could get a copy of the part drawing so I can make a new pair ?

Or does someone make replacement pins ?

A PGCA member makes them....here is his ad from Parker Pages.

Thank you !

Wow wish I had known that Friday !

I was at the Blackwater NWR hunting , that's about a thirty minute ride from where I was to Elliot Island Road !!!!

I have several original replacements. But if you want new ones, contact Dave. He usually makes the older offset style, but may make the floating pins you are looking for.

Unless you are missing them, I can't imagine any other reason for replacing them besides wanting modern steel in the gun. Which I suppose there is nothing wrong with that. But I can say that the original floating pins are very berry and strong. I do not think very many of them break.
