Shotgun parts / gunsmith
Good evening members have a few questions.
I inherited a S&w pump 12g 916T and found firing pin broken so what would you recommend.
My options in preferred order:
1 replacement part .... depending on price I would move to option 2 .....any recommendations of who would have parts .. S.A located
2 I would beable to turn my own, not a huge job but what material should I use? "I have heard things like drill bits, socket extension, and allen-key " and turn it to size
3 have a gunsmith do it at the cost of 40% of the value of gun.
The pin is approximately 40mm in L x 8mm in thickness tapered down to app. 3mm
Any suggestions on above would be appreciated.Last edited by jehan; 07-07-2022 at 20:10. Reason: Spelling

Nicholas Yale (JHB) often have S&W parts as they are their agents.
Call them and then have your local dealer order it from them if they have or can get. (Nicholas Yale only sell to dealers)

Re: Shotgun parts / gunsmith
depending on how/where it's broken you may be able yuo use the original with just the FP replaced - drill and solder in a replacement and shape to fit. Back end of a drill bit has worked for me a number of times.
