1892 Marlin firing pin

[Hawkeye2]

My neighbor is looking for a center fire firing pin for an 1892 Marlin in .32. He has the rimfire pin but
have you priced the ammo? Gun parts hasn't had any for years and I haven't been able to locate one anywhere.

Should not be too hard to make. Search the internet for the blueprint or other measurement details.---------------6

Good luck to your friend finding 32 Short and Long Colt

Thanks for the suggestion but I have way too many projects running to chase down the correct grade steel and file one out for him and he can't do it. I might install it if he can buy one.

Airedaleman, it looks like Wisner's might have one, I'll have him call them. Finding .32 Colt ought to be easier than finding affordable .32 rimfire, $4.75/round for Navy Arms.

Luv our Airedale, smartest dogs I've ever seen.

You can get 32 short/long colt from these guys. They will reload the brass and sell bullets also.

I bought several of the pins from Wisner's in the past .

Also it's my understanding that Winchester makes a limited run of 32 Short Colt every year .

I shot some in the pair I had , and to be totally honest it wasn't the most accurate thing in the world .

Did however run up on 200 pieces of NEW Remington/Peters 32 Long Colt back around 2004 in the Binghamton New York /Scranton PA area . Also was able to acquire a 90 grain heel bullet mold . Trim the cases down a shade add 2 1/2 grains of Unique then seat the bullet and lube the outside . That one would shoot some decent groups at 25 and 50 yards .

Had it up at John Kort's Silver Jubilee thing a few years back and we were plinking the chickens at 200 meters . However that was with untrimmed cases and 3 grains of Unique .

I've heard of some folks converting theirs to 32 S&W.
