New pins made. The offset pin design sometimes breaks. A person can encounter some rustic homemade pins and spring arrangements, like springs from ballpoint pens.

Bruce, are those the ones made by Dave Purnell?

I may be in the market for some new firing pins. Dave Purnell must be the man to contact. Dean, do you know if he still makes them?

You can send Dave a PM and ask him. I don't remember if he is still making them or if he still has some that he has made.

Nice Bruce. I can see being able to make those on my watchmakers lathe if I have the proper tooling.

Does anybody have a drawing with dimensions for these little fellows? Mine are missing. If I had a design, that's be half the battle. Thanks in advance!

Don't need a drawing; finally connected with Dave on the firing pins! Thanks.

I have bought several pins from Dave and they work perfect.

Just got the firing pins from Dave and they are truly a thing of beauty. Went in without problems and test-fired on some empty brass with live primers. Spectacular. Then spent a half-hour cleaning the barrels... Thanks Dave!
