Toz 8 firing pin

[teufelhawk]

Hi
Just picked up a Toz 12, upgraded Toz 8, and it has a broken firing pin. I’m on the hint for a replacement or repair options. Any suggestions?
The rifle wasn’t firing and when I finally managed to take the bolt apart it quickly became apparent why.

Machinist (me?) should be able to remake it pretty easy. Does it have to even be threaded?

Failing that try a tig weld or JB weld

It does have to be threaded. It screws on to the firing pin retaining sleeve(?) at the end and then is crossed pinned.

It's cool you found the exploded view. I don't think you need to have posted this 2+ times in different forums.

I'd strongly aim to just fix the broken end instead of replacing. Cut the nub off, and thread it for the same size thread. Use a cut off bolt as a replacement stem.

Find someone with a tig welder, that can build up material, and just re tap it.

There will be people saying you can't. I had someone with a Tig welder build up material to reshape an extractor on a rolling block.

Just aiming for as wide an audience as I can. �� and someone might not be looking at both forms.

He isn't a mod, so post wherever you feel.

I have a Toz 8 and wouldn't know that this is a known problem. So, thanks for posting here, as I'm in rimfire more than gunsmith and I wouldn't have noticed.

Well, I went to local marine machine shop and they did a little welding. Now a little tap and die action to clean up the threads. Then to see how it all goes back together. Many thanks for the help on this.
