Small left handed drill bit? Easy out? Small pick?

For something that small I'll go direct to the manufacturer like Chicago LaTrobe and such.

Sounds good.

Keep us posted on the restoration.

Well so far so good, replaced the index plunger and spring without to much problem. Used a 3/32 milling bit on my Dremel tool. It grabbed the plunger and unstuck it. Used tweezers to pull it out. It seems it was not broken, used a pick to remove the spring which was the problem. It was to short, most likely someone attempt to repair. Installed new spring and plunger, Bolt is in functioning order. now just have to wait on 2 back ordered parts from Havlin. A safety block and the 2 round 16ga magazine.

When you click on upload a file, does it open a window on your pc and you double click on the pic you want to upload?

Yes, it does all that, then an error window comes up and says the file is to large and does not produce a picture.
