I was asked by a family member to look over a few old Marlin lever guns last week that had belonged to my father.
During that inspection i noticed a box of ammo she said came with the rifles. In that box I found three full boxes of original .41 Colt to go with my 1901 1st Gen and some misc old .22 ammo. In the bottom was a Colt Scout SAA. I know they aren`t worth all that much but it did belong to him so it`s cool to me.
I got permission to keep it and the .41 ammo but during the inspection and cleaning I noticed the firing pin is missing. I do see a spring of some sort but nothing else. Numrich has them I believe but am asking if the process can be done by me. Haven`t had a Scout apart and can`t see how the pin is retained in the frame. Can someone give me some insight?
