fishes5 1 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hey can someone tell me the Firing Pin measurements and the steel type used Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haugpatr 972 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 If you need a firing pin, I would suggest buying the one Tromix makes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fishes5 1 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks, I do need the FP but I need the flat piece. Any info would be appreciated. I dropped the piece and it is somewhere in a 10 foot deep snow pile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobabuee 29 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 your talking about the whole assembly? which is bolt. if it is you better dig because cant be replaced because no replacement bolt are made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bcrider 68 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 What do you mean by the flat piece? If bobabuee is correct on what you are talking about, then it would be cheaper to buy a metal detector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sapper1371usmc 107 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 He's talking about the piece the hammer strikes first before hitting the firing pin. I think its called the striker but I could have the names reversed. The S12 utilizes a 2pc firing pin/striker assembly. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fishes5 1 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Dapper1371usmc thanks for clarifying. The striker is the piece I need or specifications on it in order to get one made. Some background. I was cleaning the bolt and took it apart. Working outside on my deck so the fumes would not bother my family. I don't have a garage. I live in Alaska and it was cold.while working over a parts tray I took apart the bolt. I should mention that I had to remove my gloves in order to manipulate the tools. Well that caused my fingers to quickly start to become numb. This was the mistake I know now as I lost control of the firing pin/striker and it fell to the parts tray. No problem except it bounced out and landed on the deck, boy that was close. My dog a husky then decided to help and nosed it between the deck slats. Which caused it to quickly disappear in a minimum of 10 feet of snow. Boy I am sure glad my dog was so helpfully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I live in Alaska and it was cold... Couple weeks break-up will be in full swing. In a month you'll be under your deck with your nose to the ground. I lost my LRBHO nut and spring in the snow at Birchwood in March. I know the feeling... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fishes5 1 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks for all input. If anyone can get me some measurements for the striker I would appreciate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fishes5 1 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Here is a pic. The part I need specs on is the long flat piece below the bolt. I believe this is the firing pin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fishes5 1 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Found the dang thing. dug out a small hole in the ice all the way to the bottom of the snow pile. My son used a magnet on a long pole and it was discovered. It was a million to one shot to hit a 1 in hole. Go figure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobabuee 29 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 cool man glad you found it I was going to suggest pm cobra he should have specs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
