netpackrat 566 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) http://www.tothtool.com/Firing-Pins_c_7.html The guy at the above site is already making firing pins for PSLs and standard AKs. Everybody with a .308 should contact him and ask him to start making pins for the .308 in order to convince him that a worthwhile market for them exists. Edit to add: In addition to asking him about .308 pins, I also asked him to consider making the spring loaded pins for the VEPR. It seems to be common for those to break at the tab that retains the spring, and no replacements are available. Edited May 14, 2013 by Netpackrat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know this is sort an post but I remembered seeing it. anyway I just stumbled on these guys , I don't know anything about them but them but figured I post it back in your thread. They say "If you have a Firing Pin we can make it" so that may work for you. Let me know what you think, I'd like to pickup a Titanium spare myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites

netpackrat 566 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I'm not sure that I understand your question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
su16a 84 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I didn't have the "follow this post" enabled so that was the reason delayed reply. It was just a general question, I was just wondering if you (or the other S12 member)s thought they are worth investing in for spares or is that overkill? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
netpackrat 566 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 If somebody would make a decent quality .308 specific pin I would buy a spare or two. I keep spare pins for my 7.62x39 AKs and have had to install one in mine, and one in my brother's rifle due to the ends becoming peened over (more fine Romanian QC). But the spares I bought are of Polish manufacture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cerephim 3 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm having some made. Give me a couple months to work with the fabricator. I hope to offer pin/spring/collar combo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cerephim 3 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 If someone has Saigas in both .308 and .223, please post images of the firing pins laid side by side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cerephim 3 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Pins are turned, milled, and at the heat treating shop now. God willing and the creek don't rise, I should have them in time for Christmas! I'll letcha know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haugpatr 972 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Good news! Any idea on pricing as of yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cerephim 3 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Nothing specific yet. The fab shop hasn't quoted me a price yet; but based on their previous work, I'm guessing ~$50.00 for a pin, collar and spring assembly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
