hello:

looking for a replacement firing pin for a drulov mod 70.

or new entire bolt assembly.

Also taking recommendations on a gunsmith/machinist who could manufacture a replacement.

Thank-you
 
How about a picture? ,I had a 75 years ago, that has the set trigger, but can't remember what the firing pin looks like?
Tradex has some listed, or is that where you got it?
 
I wish somebody would produce these in a backyard shop. There are hundreds of these drulovs sitting around with broken firing pins. It's a potential money maker for some backyard machinist with a lathe. There is a worldwide market. Pretty much every Drulov will break the firing pin if it gets dry fired a few times. Mine did it dry firing on a plastic snap cap. It went through the plastic rim and hit the breechface.
 
I noticed the actual striker is a separate, and maybe harder metal set into the round pin assembly body.
Careful with the locking pin. it is rather soft and deforms in edge roundness and straightness. had to use ball peen and sandpaper so it could be reused.
Brass sleeve is very soft and has to be held forward by another punch so the holes line up for the locking pin.

Saw the pictures on my laptop are darker than my desktop. Will make them more readable.

Uploaded lighter pics to album.
