	Good luck finding one. I asked the same question back in May after breaking mine during the RKS match. Never did find one. With a small lathe they are not hard to make. I used an aircraft grade bolt that I bought years ago from Boeing surplus. One was the perfect diameter. If it is just the tip that broke off, anyone with a lathe should be able to add a new tip. You might have to experiment with the overall length. Mine had started sticking due to being dirty and gummed up. I was properly chastised for not cleaning it AND bringing the hammer to half cock before opening the action (Thanks Dave You have to drop the block to have enough room to get the pin out. Not difficult. Jack

	The one in my original 44 in 25-20 was noticeably smaller in diameter than the one I broke in my 22. Jack

	Local remedy: Make the body out of an appropriately size bolt, aircraft AN hard one if you have more than one drill the same diameter as the small part of the pin and/or good control of your temper or a #2 softer bolt. Get a roller bearing roller the correct size and epoxy it into the drilled hole in the bolt that you cut the threads off of and finish it with a Dremel tool and file. If that tip ever breaks off, heat it and pull it out and put another roller in it.

	Take the one you've got, and drill a hole into the end in line with where the tip should be. Diameter to fit the hole in the breechblock. Make a pin by breaking off the shank of the correct size drill. press in using red Loctite. Grind to proper length and shape the tip. This is a trivial lathe job. Lacking a lathe, it can be done on a drill press if you have a good vise and a way to clamp it to the table. I can email details of how that is done.
