BADGER.BRAD Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Hello All, Went out on the clays today with my trusty (until now) twin trigger o/u, halfway through my gun jammed half open but loaded I tried for 10 mins to reopen it until someone else tried it only for it to open first time (typical) I then noticed it rattling, I gave it a gun shake and the pin fell out . As this was only a cheap gun is it likely to be worth fixing ? Has anyone any idea of the possible range of cost ? forgot to ad its a Acciaio Breda B4 Thanks all Edited April 19, 2017 by BADGER.BRAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Even if it cost £150 .. you wouldn't find a replacement gun that cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Replacement pins are about £20 from Peter Dyson. If you want the cheap option and have a pillar drill - make your own. Edited April 19, 2017 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Have a look through Wabbitboshers selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADGER.BRAD Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I only paid £100 for the gun it had been sat as a spare in the chaps collection having had very little use . It was really stiff when I first had it but it loosened off in the end probably why the pin broke ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Trouble is,,,gunsmiths want to fit it as well. So the cost goes up, as someone providing pin has the chance the final part may not be bob on and need a little fettling,Can see their point,but kills it stone dead..

zipdog Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 When my firing pin went on my Browning, a quick internet search, new pin ordered for about £10 and fitted following online instructions in 10 mins. Would ever say a firing pin could write off a gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wb123 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) i had the same problem a while back with a cheap gun without a pin readily available. The first time done by local gunsmith for about £50 and took six weeks. The next time i got one made for £20 and fitted myself, turn around time four days. I will happily pass on the details of the chap who made it if you need. Edited April 19, 2017 by Wb123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADGER.BRAD Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) UPDATE: It was the little dowls holding the pin in now I just need to source a new pin ! Edited April 20, 2017 by BADGER.BRAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wb123 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Looks very much like my last one, check the dimensions of the other pin against this site... http://jefenry.com/main/FiringPinFabrication.php I couldnt find one off the shelf and ended up getting one made, again id be glad to put you in touch with the chap who did it.

BADGER.BRAD Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 I contacted Peter Dyson (as surgested by Gordon R) and have sent the broken pin to him for replicating, about the £15 mark so not a bad result really. I have better quality guns but enjoy using this one the most plus I'll now have an extra connection with it as I've put some effort into it.Chears all.
