Howdy, I am in need of a firing pin for my ol Ballard #3 Gallery 22rimfire, it is broken. Can't seem to locate one it seems as though Ballard has went out of business. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't have anyone local who can make you a firing pin, consider contacting Wyoming Armory in Cody, WY. If they don't have one on the shelf, they should be able to make it.
A quick Google search will find their web site.

There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

Ballards may be weaker,

Jim at Distant Thunder has them in stock. Excellent quality, with very little fitting needed. I bought one previously, and was impressed with his work.

Oops! My mistake! I knew he had the 2 piece extractors, and thought I got my firing pin from him also. Now I need to see if I kept the receipt, and where I did find it?

The rimfire firing pin that was used in the Ballard Rifle company's rifles was different than the originals.
I have made several of the original style ones over the years. Give me a call at Johnson's Sporting Goods (517-265-2545) and we can talk.
