Possum Skinner, SASS#60697 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Can't seem to find a firing pin spring anywhere. Checked Brownell's and VTI, C&I store, Pioneer. Only way I can find them is with a new firing pin. Any ideas? Thanks, Possum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Go to a ACE hardware store with your Bolt in hand. Then go through their drawers of springs and find something that fits in the hole. Adjust it by cutting and stretching it back out if need be. sb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy, I think so, but maybe not. Boogie's is a small diameter pin and he said it didn't really matter if you used a spring or not. It may matter on a larger diameter firing pin? This is also in one of his bolts if it makes any difference? Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possum Skinner, try Parker ballpoint click-pen springs. Otherwise, Shotgun Boogie & Palo Verde sell them. The springs are an uncommon size; .145" OD, .120" ish ID, .750 long. I did find some as part of a handyman assortment once. LQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 As an additional. Uberti toggle link rifles will operate just fine without the Firing Pin Return Spring. CAVEAT: The PRIMARY purpose of the Firing Pin Return spring in Uberti rifles is to prevent Slam Firing from the inertia of the Extension Rod. VORSICHT!!

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 But Cemetery . . . Does it go "Click Click" when it retracts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Creek,5759 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I know a shooter that uses Ball Point Pin Springs. He hasen't had any problems. Anytime i have a pin that doesn't work . I put the spring in a Baggie. You never know when you mite need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say more of a Clink Clink as the gun is cycled. Funny, I never knew that was the spring I was hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
