Receiver repairable?
 

I have a Trojan with an enlarged firing pin hole along with a deformed firing pin. I wonder if anyone has seen this and what is done to repair the problem.

Triple clicking on your last image, I have to say that is the worst erosion I have seen. If the remainder of the gun is good, then laser welding the breach face and remachining it is probably the way to go.
Hammers are around from people here, or Ebay.

Thanks for weighing in on this one, it’s not pretty but everything else is tight and operational.
I suppose it’s a matter of someone in the southern Wisconsin area able take a look and do this work..
Any recommendations?
Thanks again for the help!

Thank you phil.

Since the hammer is the firing pin, wouldn't a replacement hammer work since it does not rotate in the hole? As long as a primer was not pierced (using American factory loads), I would think it would be ok?

The hammer you mention did pierce the primer once. Scary situation and thankful I’m right handed and it was the left side at that. And I sure felt like a complete fool for letting that happen as well. That was the last time this Parker was fired. I’m curious to find out if it’s worth having repaired since it’s not a show piece. I’d like it to function properly
Thanks again for all of the advise and recommendations.

We haven't seen a picture of the firing pin yet. What is actually the problem? Will the gun not fire? If the primers are pierced, try a different brand of primer or shell. Some primers are softer than others.

It won't be a prohibitively costly repair. I say get kit fixed before you fire it again. The blowback into the frame from a pierced primer can blow out a chunk of the head of the stock.
