It is about 8 inches long with some interesting machining work and I am sure it will need to be of a specific metal and hardened. Much easier to buy a surplus firing pin from the many Mauser parts companies. If you like, I will do a search and find you some names... I used to buy parts from a place in upstate new york 10 years or so ago, but don't know if they are still in business. I have build 5 sporter rifles from military mausers so pretty familiar with the action. I have a 1909 Argentine mauser in 7.65 in the gun safe. John [Reply]   [No Email]

Numrich Arms (Gun Parts Corp) is very much still in business, 55 or so miles south of here, years ago when I got out early on a friday in nyc I would stop in on the way home, or make a special trip when working on something, knew it was in stock, they ship reasonably quick, but I see their may be some stock issue with springs, I have a rifle that needs a cartridge lifter spring, out of stock for months. Worst case I'll measure it up and see what it would be to have it made, otherwise I'll have a .22 WMR wall hanger LOL Gun Parts '91 Argentine Schematic [Reply]  [No Email]
