wh20crazy Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 The firing pin broke on my West Hurley 1927-A1. I understand there are a couple of different firing pin designs. How do I tell which one I need and who sells them? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wh20crazy Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I messed up. I took it apart a while back. I found the rear section, but have lost the front section of the firing pin. I guess I'll just order one of each, since I found them on TommyGunner for $20. Also, my rear sight is rivited on, but the rivets are lose. Is there any problem w/ drilling those out, tapping the holes & putting screws in that don't protrude below the holes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gio Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 wh20crazy, I would not get one from him. Look him up on past post. Forewarned is foretold. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wh20crazy Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Gio, thanks for the heads up. Where do you recommend I get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeTimmy Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Check out Kahr Arms and Gunpartscorp websites. Both show a semi auto firing pin in stock. If youre worried about the fit in your bolt, you may be able to buy a complete bolt assembly. Good luck, Timmy.

wh20crazy Posted February 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Update: My Thompson has been sitting in the corner of the safe for a very long time. Yesterday a friend calls & says he's found something that I may want. He was helping someone clean up & found an M1 bolt & firing pin. They guy didn't know what it was. The bolt is broken, but I didn't need an M1 bolt anyway. I bought the firing pin & put it in last night. It felt so good to run a couple hundred rounds through it today.
