62SA firing pin removal?
Posted: 28 Oct 2014 10:42
Hello,
I'm having a bit of trouble removing the firing pin from my Rossi 62SA. I removed all the pins for the extractor and firing pin stop, but I still can't remove the actual firing pin. As you all may know this model has the safety on top of the bolt and I think the safety is holding the firing pin in place. I can't find any info on how to remove the safety? My first thought is to pry it off with a flat head screw driver but I'm afraid to break it.
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated and I hope it's not a dumb question. My plan is to send my broken firing pin (tip is broken) to Bob's Gun Shop for a replacement. He is the only place that seems to have them.
Thanks again,
Jordan
