.22 lr Firing pin to short

[jpm2953]

Is that near the blinker fluid? lol

Might try the JB weld trick. Only need a couple thousandths.

that aint gonna last 20 seconds. best bet is to buy another one....or get someone to TIG weld the tip and then file to fit

Thanks for all the reply’s. waiting to get it back after having some length welded onto it.

Can't believe this is a discussion. 30 dollars and you have a proper firing pin. But instead, you want to consider adding JB Weld (WTF?!), shipping it somewhere to pay someone money to weld something onto it (wtf!) or other shenanigans. The cheapness of this forum never ceases to amaze.

Heat the tip red hot with a torch and draw it out with a hammer.

On the right track.

You don't need to heat it, and risk burning the metal if you do.

Gently peening the pin on a hard surface should lengthen it enough to work. Like BBQ, go low and slow.

Being as it's rimfire, you don't have to worry about working it down so small the primeer flows back in the firing pin hole.

Got it put together today, works like it should. The help I got was local, no shipping charges were incurred. Thanks for all the reply’s.
