Dry firing seems to be a no-no...

Pulled the firing pin lock pin today and it was bent.

Had a hell of a time getting it back in.

Anyone know where spares are sold?

I use snap-caps when I decide to do some dry firing in order to get used to a new rifles trigger break.
Locking a particular rifles trigger breaking characteristics into the targeting part of my brain is essential to good shooting for me.
I do this before I take any rifle to the field if I haven't fired it for a while.
I never dry fire rimfire firearms.

Is there any reason the pin could not be replaced with an appropriate piece of drill rod?

I think that could work. as long as you get your length right.

When it comes to spare parts, RossiUSA is it.

But my gun is a medallion Puma from Interarms. Are they going to sell to me?

All you need is a serial number for a current production firearm. Plenty are displayed on GunBroker. PM and I will give you one of mine if you want.

Thanks.... I've been multi-tasking, and found a guy with some parts. M & M Gunsmithing (mmgunsmithing@yahoo.com). He's sending one out. He has other parts too, just ask by email...
