Firing Pin Help
« on: January 17, 2012, 08:24:07 AM »
Hey there:
 
I am doing my second handi trigger job. On this one, firing pin and spring come out; now; how do I get it back in ? Seems I'm having a problem here, please help me, and remember, I ain't no rocket scientist.
 
Thanks to all and all the best,

CZ,
 
did  you remove a pin from the frame to get the f-pin out or did it come out on its own?

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?

Hello:
 
I know how the trigger goes in and what holds it in. Unfortunately, when I was pushing it in over the spring to get the frame pin inserted to hold it, it zoomed out, hit the wall and has become invisible. Have searched all 3 times, and no luck. Next question is; do any of you have a spare firing pin and/or know where I can get one ? This makes me sick, I was so excited, got all polished up, and putting all together.
 
Thanks for listening and thanks for your help.
 
Best,

The top pin in the receiver retains the f-pin and I don't think it needs to come out for a trigger job.  I looked at the FAQs for a pic/link but my ctrl f isn't working on my new laptop. :P   The f-pin has to be orientated correctly and held in place againist the f-pin spring before reinstalling the retaining pin through the frame.  The end of the pin that is struck by the striker (tbar) is rotated so the longest end of it is up in relation to the receiver.  A picture would be a lot better than my description, maybe one will be posted shortly.
 
CZ,

didn't see your third post, PM me your address.  A fine fellow who resides in the Northwest sent me an f-pin & spring a while back and it turns out I didn't need it.
