.32 Safety Hammerless---frozen firing pin

[Chris K]

Just bought a little Safety Hammerless-----rated 98% condition and all mechanicals seem to be operating perfectly except for the firing pin. Any suggestions??? Will try some Break Free and penetrating oil....other advice if I have to open it up?

Take the stocks off and soak it in a bucket of kerosene for several days. Should loosen things right up.

Check the Chicoine book or a good assembly diagram. On my project gun, it had been reassembled incorrectly - there's a bushing that surrounds the firing pin, and a firing pin spring also. You may want to check they are assembled correctly if you have to open it up. Good luck.
