Firing Pin Enfield No.2 MK I revolver

Picked up an Enfield No.2 MK I revolver at gun show last weekend. Got it cheap due to several problems. What I thought would be simplest seems to be most difficult is the firing pin or hammer nose missing from it. I am down to considering ordering the "Hammer Point Gauge" from Numrich and fabricating my own. However I can't even find a how to on using it.

Any suggestions of how to use the gauge or a part supplier that might have the firing pin available?

Thank you so much for your help,

Tom W.

I'd suggest finding someone with one and copying it using some medium carbon steel. It is the easiest thying in the world to make from a piece of flat steel, retained by a small steel rivet. Striker protrusion is .040" low, .050" high

Thank you for your suggestion. I shall persue that course.

Thank you again,

Spare No.2 revolver hammers which can be cannibalized for their firing pins show up for nominal prices on a regular basis on Ebay. Highly suggest that course of action. As Pete Laidler noted, the firing pin rivet is no big deal to make as a replacement. Use search term "enfield revolver" to locate on eBay.
