Mossberg 800B firing pin

[phinfan]

Well fellas, I went and broke the firing pin on my 800B. These things are made of unobtainium.
I talked to Vic Havlin, looked on ebay, gunbroker and numrich, apex, jack first, old arms of Idaho, and Popperts. Nobody has one.
I guess I'm going to have to have one made unless somebody here knows of one.

I sent them an email asking if they have one or could make one. We'll see what they say.

My firing pin is at my son-in-law's buddy's house. He is a hobby machinist. He, my SIL and I sat down with the pin, the bolt and the rifle and drew out a "print" of what I need him to make. He told me he'd have it done this Sunday.
Said he'd do it for some shooting lessons at the sportsman's club I belong to.

How is it going with the firing pin . I hope it works for you.

I got it and mounted the cocking piece. The fit is nearly perfect and that's as far as I've been able to get with it. I've been working a ton of overtime (nights, 7 days a week, 12 hours a day) and haven't made it to the range. When I do get there I will post pics.
