stevens shotgun firing pin help needed

[ivarr]

i have a beautiful ( to me anyway ) stevens 335 side by side and one of the firing pins broke.
both i and the guys at my home gun shop have been searching for a few months and have had ZERO luck finding new or used ones.
does anyone know a gun smith or machinist with-in driving distance of me who would undertake making and properly heat treating a couple new ones for me ???
i have no idea how hard a firing pin needs to be so it would have to be a gun savy machinist i suppose.
or even better, does anyone have some secret source for old shotgun parts that i wouldn't have found on my own by now. ( YES i check numrich weekly )


thanks

I found this site.

If Wisener's doesn't, Popert's may and you should call to them to make sure it is the correct one. http://www.poppertsgunparts.com/cgi...S+MODELS+311-530&pagenum=1&cgifunction=Search

Numrich is sold out but they have a good schematic, http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufac...ngfieldFox-33479/Shotguns-40503/335-41314.htm

Or try the next gun show. I sent a customer to the Plymouth show an he found the old & obsolete part he needed.

Very good advice to follow.

i had already planned to replace both with new and keep the one that is still good as a back up.

thanks guys calling wisners to see if they really are in stock tomorrow ( assuming they are closed today )

chris is good ( though a bit expensive ) but it's the proper heat treating that i am concerned about.

i'll wait for wisners to reopen next week, they're only $13- each

 

[JohnMarston]

its true, they are costly. honestly i wouldn't really worry about the heat treatment on a side by side shotgun, but i understand where you are coming from.

Years ago I bought some Stevens parts by mail order from a place called "Roselli's Gun Shop". Can't remember where they are/were. Jack.

UPDATE

wisners was closed for an additional 2 weeks because the man and woman that run the place were sick, but got her on the phone two weeks ago and my firing pins arrived on saturday.

thanks everybody, i'm happy again
