Jon-Boy Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hi ive just been given a zabala O/U 12g shotty for free, only trouble is the top barrel's firing pin is broken. Are firing pins made specifically for types of guns or are most very similar. I would like to pick up a new pin but are unsure of where to get one for a zabala.

cooke103 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 that happened to my gun i took it into the gun shop and they said that they will have to take the whole gun to the gunsmiths. it didnt take very long and didnt cost much either. jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Should cost about £40 per pin to be made for you and fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulos Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 i think zabala are imported by york guns, try giving them a call, replacement pins usually dont cost more then about £15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 If you send me the good one I'll make you a copy. Nice jesture old rooster , I would however research this,To the best of my knowledge and experience you will find the top and bottom pins in O/U's differ in length,this is mainly due to the mechanics of the gun itself ,the sxs locks both barrels at the same radial axis point ,so pin protrusion is equal ,the O/U has a greater radius on the top ,more clearance than the bottom,This could then cause problems like missfire with a shorter pin ,or primer peircing with a long one , im sure with a little ground work you could find the exact length of pin protrusion from the breech face for the broken pin , i grant you im not too familiar with the zabala shotgun ,but i would find out for sure first . I hope i havent offended you rooster Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope i havent offended you rooster Martin Not offended at all, I'm more used to side by side shotguns and still have a lot of my late Fathers gunsmithing tools along with my own lathe and milling machine in my workshop so just thought it could help the guy out. If he'd wanted to bring the gun along we could have worked it out from that, probably fine in Silver Steel, hardened and tempered. Didn't hear any more so guess he's got it sorted ?.
