Winchester 94 pre war firing pin

[95fan]

Does anyone know where I can get a firing pin for a pre war winchester 1894? I discovered recently that mine is now a 2 piece firing pin.

On the same note; is this common for the older 94's? Should I keep spares on hand or is this just one of those things that happens with age and use?

One used to see those with regularity one eBay, but I'm not sure where a firing pin fits in their new, more resrtictive policies. Barrels are OUT!

You might try Numrich Gun Parts or Winchester Bob.

95fan,

I'd suggest getting two firing pins when you do. Just because. In all the years I've been shooting Winchester 94s I've never broken one. I did replace one that had been broken and jury rig repaired on an early 1900's SRC I bought used, but that's the only one.

I have a theory. If you have spare parts, those in your gun won't break. So far that works for me.
I have spares and nothings ever broken.

Numrich has them and they are only $22. I'd snag a couple of 'em at that price.

Is the pre 64 firing pin the same as a pre war firing pin? I looked at Numrich, and they only list one for a pre 64.

To my knowledge the firing pin was unchanged from the beginning to 1964 when they cheapened them up.

I also believe that the 1 piece pins were unchanged from the beginning. Winchester Bob lists them for 17 bucks, but I don't know if they are used or made by what company.

Thanks to everone for their help, I am ordering a couple from Numerich right now.
