Firing pin spring

[moondog]

I'd like to replace my spring on an older Bighorn. I have the old spring out to measure length, I'd, od, # of coils, and wire diameter. Wolff doesn't have anything close. Any suggestions? Anyone know the dimensions for a Remington? Just playing around. Original not available from the manufacturer.

Maybe give GreTan rifles a call and see if he can help. He seems like a Rem firing pin &spring expert.

Zermatt doesn't have a spring that will work?

Maybe a better resource would be Wolff gun springs:

They do, I got one but they changed their firing pins and spring design. It doesn't cycle near as well as it use to.

Already talked to them

Why not check the static spring pressure on your existing spring before replacing it.

One product of the Internet is there is an entire industry dedicated to telling people to fix things that are not broken, and offering solutions to problems that do not exist.
