Overpaid to get ahead of the curve but found a broken firing pin on tear down. Bummer.

No before pics. It's already scattered. It'll be OK.

Excellent find.
And still an excellent rifle.
I always keep an extra firing pin on hand for all my levers.
Is it micro or ballard?

Looks like normal rifling and it's a waffle top so I say Ballard. Maybe I should order 2-3 more?

If it breaks again I'll get this ONE PIECE PIN AND SPRING KIT.

Once you install a new firing pin, keep another extra firing pin in reserve.
I stock spare parts for my marlins and 94s just like for my rossi 92s.

I keep a canvas tool roll bag for each rifle caliber.
I keep all spare parts, reloading dies,mold, tools for any repair work needed,
