Firing pin broken

#1

Post by Soap »

I bought an odd rifle and the firing pin broke. This rifle isn't covered by warranty. I emailed the company and the guy said he would get back with me the next day and express mail me one. I said no problem. I emailed them back saying I would pay for one but its out of stock in their store. I emailed them 5 days ago the second time. The original email was over 10 days ago. They never got my info.

I feel like they're dropping the ball here. All I want to do is buy a firing pin so my rifle will work. So what are my options here? I don't want to name drop because maybe they're extremely busy or something. Its a small company. Its just odd they responded right away and now they've ignored me.

I think Brownell's and Numrich have the largest variety of parts for firearms.

I have had good experiences ordering from Brownell's but never used Numrich. I think Numrich buys a lot of older gun parts and going out of business inventories, so they might be better if it is an unusual gun while Brownell's might be better if it is a more common firearm.

Check with your local gun smiths, one with a lathe might be willing to make you one.

:iagree: G.A.'s recommendation may be your best bet. You didn't mention the manufacturer, but there may be a forum for your rifle manufacturer. I join forums for all my gun makes and get lots of help on them. Even bought and sold some parts, even gave some away and received some free gratis.
