	I am looking for a source for parts for # 4 Remington. Primarily a firing pin. I may change my ID to "Firing Pin" Don G

	Is the tip broken or worn out? Is it just plain ol missing? I've fixed broken pins by drilling out the body and silver soldering in a new pin. If it's missing, then you've got the pattern to scratch build a new one if you can't find parts. Hope this helps. AkMike

	AK Mike I recieved the rifle today. The firing pin was in the block and I released the hammer on a fired case a couple of times and got good indentations. As I was cleaning the rifle I noticed the firing pin tip was gone. Now there is just a hole where the pin protruded from the block. DGQuote: Is the tip broken or worn out?

	If the body is there then I'd build a fresh tip for it. Have you got DeHaas's Gunsmith Idea book? I think it 's in there. OR there are some good 'smiths here.

	Hello smoke810, try this web address and company (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links); I've purchased parts from them and they are high quality. The above URL should take you to the remington single shot parts page and they list 22rf & 32rf firing pins. Good luck with the #4, they are a fun small RB rifle's, Mike

	I noticed that Numrich lists a firing pin for a # 4 for $20 + dollars plus shipping. Isn't the pin held in the block with a drive pin?

	James Wisner's pins list for $11.00 each, and his quality has been quite good over the years. Personally, I would opt for his parts over anything from the other guys... David Montezuma, IA

	David Thanks for the information. I decided to just make a couple. They seem to work just fine.

	That's the spirit...simple parts can even be done on a 3/8" drill clamped to a work table, and shaped with a file or two. If you used drill rod, leave it annealed. Same for La Salle Fatigue Proof steel. David Montezuma, IA
