Afternoon folks, I'm new here but I'm hoping someone could help me out.
I finally received a new firing pin for my 702 plinkster in the mail today, and dug the parts out to reassemble it. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to fit the firing pin into the bolt.
If I slide it into the channel with the longest part through the rear where the hammer can strike it, the pin falls out once I try to work the slide. If I put it in the opposite way, the slide won't even move.
The only thing I can think of is that I'm missing some trick to 'lock' it in. Or perhaps I'm missing a part, but I really hope that isn't the case. If someone has or could procure a photo of the firing pin assembly, showing the pin, or could just explain in small words what I'm doing wrong I would be very grateful.
Edit: Looked at the Bolt Assembly this morning and realized what I thought was a bar was actually the retaining pin for the firing pin. Popped it out, slid the pin in and popped it back in, gun runs like a scalded hound again. Can't believe I didn't see it to begin with.
