Taurus MilPro Parts

Post by Mrlucky353 »

Taurus Chat today said they had no parts for my MilPro PT140.

Found this link as a solution to broken captive firing pin spring assemblies (1.13).

I decided to try fabricating a captive firing pin spring assembly as shown on the above link.

Hardest parts were cutting the nail to the right size and then threading it.

Later this week, I'll see if it actually works.
