Deadeye Dillard Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Search some and you'll see several outfits sell'em. Check Brownells. OLG I'd reckon he's talking about 73 one piece pins if he's looking up RCD's shop. Is J&J Gunsmithing still selling One piece firing pins, the phone number and email address no longer work. Thanks in advance for your help, Who you want at J&J is Roy's Creek Dan. I believe you can message him on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmetto Traveller Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 You can also try Snake Oil George aka Doyle Stockstill at J&J Gunsmithing (918)729-0430. They did mine about a year and a half ago and it was a huge improvement for me. Highly recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orient Express Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 What's the benefit of the single piece firing pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 A one piece FP gives a direct impact from the hammer to the primer without “peeling” back and forth between multiple parts. Each time energy is transferred from one part to another, some of that energy is lost. So if a certain energy level is necessary to pop a primer, you don’t need as much input from the hammer with a one piece FP as you would with the stock FP. Another benefit is that it gives a more ridged continuity in the bolt-firing pin assemble resulting in a firmer feel to the action when used in a ‘73. This last doesn’t apply to Marlins though, but the first one does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecos River Bob Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Thanks for your thoughts, my rifle is a Uberti 73, and I found his Phone number, it had changed since Mr. Pettifoggers article in the January 2016 Cowboy Chronicle If any one wants more info on the one piece you can find it in the Archives of the Cowboy Chronicle.

Palmetto Traveller Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The one pc pin also helps if your rifle is worn and the bolt / extension are starting to get a little sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecos River Bob Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 I have ordered a One piece firing pin from J&J Gunsmithing. I mailed my bolt to him, he gets it all together and mails it back, I get to install it and thanks to Mr. Pettifoggers instructions from the January 2016 Cowboy Chronicle I know I can do it. Saves a pile of time and money not having to ship the entire rifle. After the installation and a trip to the rifle range I will tell y'all about it.
