Lord v Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 The firing pin on my Laurona snapped today..... Fun times. Where's the go to for spares? Gun is only worth a few 100 and I was looking to upgrade at some point this year anyway so not worth spending £££ on having a part machined and fitted.

Gordon R Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 https://www.peterdyson.co.uk/acatalog/FIRING_PINS.html Gone up in price in last few years - they were £10 not so very long ago. http://www.southertonguns.com/listing-category/laurona/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Which Laurona do you have ?? O/U ? Side by side ? There are some that can be easily made and some of the older O/U's that are very difficult to make [ and remove ] but can be repaired . I tried getting Laurona spares a few years back and found it very difficult for O/U's even those sold as Winchesters . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord v Posted February 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) It's the eibar single trigger boxlock OU. Spoke to the bosher and he said the last one he had to have made but would keep an eye out for a single pin. I'm not holding out much hope though, they are weird looking things and seem to be out of stock everywhere. The Mrs has given permission to replace the gun anyway so 'too expensive to repair' is pretty much the best outcome here.... 😁 Edited February 10, 2019 by Lord v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 If its one of the strikers that fit round the leaver spindle then it can have a new striker nose made and fitted . Biggest problem is the stripping down and rebuilding as it not as simple as other O/U's .All down to time /labour costs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have a chat with a local Smith this week and get their opinion. The guns only worth £300 odd so this could get uneconomical very quickly if I can't find another pin.

Paul hartley Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hello there everyone, regarding parts for Laurona shotguns, Recently broke firing pin on my eibar 90, after trawling through forums where to look, the people to go to now for Laurona spares is Armeria sport guns ,this is a Spanish company, but very helpful, either use yandex translator and copy to your e mail or use hotmail and directly translate, they send you a schematic and ask you for parts required, Once picked will give you bank details to pay,then send directly to you,they carry ALL spares down to every last nut and bolt.
