Ravinwayne Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Looking for pointers, Bought a jabali SBS recently (just a cheapo from the bargain bucket) a little project To strip down, refurb and learn a bit about SG's. A couple of questions how can I tell how old it is? I managed to age my Beretta on the web but can't find anything for Jabali How do I find the model (the gun shop didn't seem to know) And finally.... The right hand firing pin is sticking out a bit and won't push back in when fired, gun closed ok. what's the issue? Is it fixable and will it be cheap? Any hints and advice will be appreciated Thanks people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I am not a gunsmith but be careful closing a gun on a live round if the firing pin is protruding, it might lead to an accidental discharge. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Took it back for a refund??? I thought you had bought it to learn a bit about guns and as a project? Broken firing pin-just about the easiest job on a boxlock and you take the gun back? Dedication sure aint what it used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
