Daveo26 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Its for a pedretti .410 which is moderated, and gets alot of hammer through the ferreting season. Screwing and tapping would have been an engineering job in itself those bits are small, lol I think im sorted now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dave, if your not sorted I can maybe help. If you can get yourself some Silver Steel Bar, of Ebay or the like, I'll probably be able to make it for you, I would need the pin aswell, BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveo26 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 All sorted now, the gun is back up and running. I had several offers of people willing to make the pin for me. In the end chubbus did a fantastic job making me a firing pin from Stainless steel for a reasonable price. Thank you very much John (chubbus) and thaks everyone else who offered help. If anyone's firingpin on their Pedretti goes, i can now talk you through how to remove the old one and chubbus can make you a new one Seriously though TOP BLOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
