    Kar98a Firing Pin

    So, I'm on the hunt for a firing pin for a WW1 Kar98a. My question is whether or not a firing pin from a WW2 98k would work since they are both long actions? If not, could someone point me in the right direction.

    Assuming it's Germanicon, a 98K firing pin should work just fine. Aside from the shape of the handle, they have essentially the same bolt.

    It's a 1916 Erfurt. I figured a 98k firing pin would work, but I wanted a second opinion. Thanks for the reply.

    The original firing pin can be repaired, depending what happened to it...BTDT
