Ausgunner Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Hi Guys, Out of curiosity has anyone ever compared an original winchester 101 firing pin to an earlier browning/miroku pin? Interested to see if they are different and by how much since the action designs are so similar. Top image is 101 bottom is miroku. I habe never handled them next to eachother but they do appear very much the similar dimensions from images i can find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I asked my gunsmith mate the question. He says they're different but a Browning /Miroku pin can be fettled to fit a Winchester top and bottom barrel. He keeps Winchester pins in stock as he gets them from the USA.

Ausgunner Posted February 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Yes they are still available and will be for a long time luckily. Just interesting to think about because side by side the actions internally are very very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
