Winchester Model 100 Firing Pin Question?

[joewilly]

Am I going to need a dremel to cut the head off the pin or will a hacksaw with the proper blade work? I guess it's hardened steel and the hacksaw blade I have now is junk, so I'm off to Home Depot in the morning to see what they got, but I'm open for suggestions.

Have you tried to rotate the firing pin a quarter turn at a time and see if it would come out.

Yes sir I have. So far I have found some folks in Winchester forums that had the same problem, but no one can figure out what caused it. If I can get up your way tomorrow I'll stop by your shop and let you take a look at it.

I'll be here all day.

Headed out to Price's Gunsmith and Machine shop this morning and you can see results! Great day overall - got pulled over by state trooper on U.S. 78E for doing 68mph in a 55mph zone. For all the LEO bashers just to let you know he ran my tag and checked my license and told me to have a great day and drive safely! I expected a ticket so the firing pin removal project would have been quite expensive. Hat's off to "2nd4ever" on a great job. If you need a great gunsmith with "very fair" prices give them a call. They are in Statham, Ga.

Thanks for the good word and it was great meeting and helping out a fellow ODT member.
