Firing Pin Protruding from Bolt

[Water Monkey]

Quick update...

Went around my local gun stores asking about getting a bolt. A lot of blank looks as always and the always funny answer... Just send it in to mossberg (sorry not waiting 5 weeks).

Called havlin sales today. They had it in stock and are shipping out to me tomorrow so I should have it this weekend.

I love them. I do.

cool, let me know if you ever want to fix the old one and I'll help you through it.

I do. Crazy with work and wedding stuff right now. Will post picks this weekend of the old. I bet I can fix it with a new firing pin washer. Just getting it disassembled is a PITA.

glad Havlin was able to help you out.
go get married and worry about it later.

OK did I mention I LOVE Havlin Sales? Well I do. They ALWAYS come through. 3 day turn around time every time for me.

Got the new bolt and set her in. Gonna need to work her in she's a little stiff.

Here are the two bolts together:

Here's a top view notice the difference in springs:

Here's a look at the back notice how the back of the firing pin is almost flush on the old one:

,,,,,looks like the spring has opened up because of the missing washer.

,,,,,and as far as Havlin goes,,,,,,,

I'm going to have to order a punch and hammer set to get into the bolt and firing pin.

It fired fine last I took it out. But I dont want to ignore a possible issue down the road.

unless you are going to use them for heavy duty use,take a ride over to harbor freight,,,,
