Good Morning All,

My firing pin is heading south toward the edge of the primer and I am needing about 25/1000ths to get it back on center. I have seen the welding/case-hardening videos and I do not have the skills, tools, or talent for that procedure. The other options open to me seems to be peening the ears and that too is a bit daunting. I could give that a go if the experts think a rookie can handle it.

If this is not a job for a rookie, I would welcome recommendations on smiths who are familiar and capable of making the modifications necessary. My '74 is a great shooter and I would like to keep it running that way.

Thanks and Happy Easter,
Randy
