There are several guys over on RFC that have parts stockpiled. Ask here. http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/fo ... afeda&f=52

Midway has a part for about $20, but it sounds like it has to be fitted to work properly.

Homestead Firearms and Numrich are out of stock.

Hello,

There are always some on Gunbroker.com
If the rifle is a late magnum (SN > 310600 approximately) the firing pin is different.

Could I please get a bit of info on your rifle so that I can add it into my research survey?
Looking for the SN, barrel shape, what size the chamber is( short only, LR only, WRF, magnum?
Is the receiver grooved for a scope mount? Is the upper tang D&T with two screws for a folding peep?
Is the butt plate checkered steel or black composition? You can read some about the work at these links:
