Keith RW Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Just managed to shear the bottom firing pin on my 2001 Lincoln No2 20g which I suspect remained stuck out and not returning home due to possibly being gummed up through lack of use as its been in the cabinet since being purchased second hand back in 2016, no doubt I will discover the issue when I strip it down. I bought this back then to teach one of the grandaughters that showed an interest for all of five minutes and got it out again today to take 13yr old grandson out who has more of an interest having been out with me on the pigeon and game for the last few seasons and which is ideal for him as a starter gun, we only managed 20 carts before the mishap. Searching the internet Lincoln are made by Rizzini and appear to share many interchangeable parts, that said I dont seem to be able to track any spares stockist down. Can anyone point me in the direction of getting hold of Rizzini/Lincoln spares other than going direct to manufacturer or anyone who can make one from pattern (broken one).

Old Boggy Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 You could try The Shotgun Store owned by Michael Leavold. They’re stock spares for Lincoln (FAIR) shotguns.

I was out with a 1924 and a 1958 as well yesterday, one is definitely old with the other approaching.... 2001 definitely not 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith RW Posted August 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 For anyone in the same position of sourcing spares for "older guns" and as well as the suggestions offered above, many thanks gents. John Knibbs has a selection of various guns being broken for spares along with a comprehensive lists of parts advertised on their website, Fortunately they have a 12G Lincoln No2 that appears to have the same size firing pins as the 20G that I require and which was confirmed by a phone call. Purchased both top and bottom pins for a grand total of £15 each with a couple of quid postage so the Lincoln should be back up and running as soon as they land.

Cheers Hi did the 20 gauge fit , I tried the shotgun store but after placing the order I have now been told they think they are out of stock , I've seen a 20 gauge one for sale and wondered if it would for my 12 as I thought they where the same ? Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith RW Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 It worked for me as they say, so providing the model and year are the same I dont see why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
