Fixer upper for a friend
A buddy brought me a fixer upper to look at for him today. It is a model 94 SRC serial 1,000,0xx (circa 1926). the action was locked up with rust. After oiling and playing around I got it to cycle. I pulled it apart and found a broken firing pin, the rest just needs cleaning. The exterior is really pretty good considering and the bore is bright with no pitting.
My next step is finding a firing pin, any suggestions? I hope to find one in Canada to make shipping easier. I'll let you guys know if I find anything else but so far so good pics to follow once I get it back together. Any leads for a firing pin would be appreciated.

Kirk could probably tell you where to find a firing pin in Canada. But haven't seen him post in a long while. Don't know if he's still around or not.

Re: Fixer upper for a friend
Do you mean sending a firing pin from the states is a no no? Disgusting!
Re: Fixer upper for a friend
Not that sending is a no no, just more expensive. Some firearm parts need a U.S. export paper work. No issue on our side to bring in.

Re: Fixer upper for a friend
I just got a reply from WGP they are asking $49 plus shipping etc. I have a few other feelers out so time ill tell. Brownel's is around $21 with exchange around $27 plus shipping so I'll wait for replies from my other sources.

This'd be my choice. Stopped there a few times while in Edmonton. Lots of good stuff, old guns and general stuff

Nice old Winchester
I'm surprised Western gun parts are so expensive, sometimes its easier for me to order gun parts from Canada to the UK.
Glad that old rifle is being given a new lease of life though....

I checked Homestead, by the time you add $24 shipping and 30% exchange cheaper to buy in Canada. Waiting on one more possibility to answer then decide from there.
