I have hit this forum a few times and figured it was time to join.Got my first Sav.24 around 1962 brand new for Christmas.Loved that gun.My dad made me sell it after I got a side by side 12 ga. a few years later.I got $17.00 for it!!!!!40+ years later I started picking up every one I saw.Some nice but most had issues.Stevens with wood stocks missing parts and on and on.Years a go when you could go to Gun-parts in NY I would pick up any parts I could.You would get a picker and give him your list and he would try to fill it.One time I picked up 5 22-410 barrels.I rebuilt many and sold many. I think I had 13 or so at one time.Back then the book value was a joke but I kept all the nice ones.I call them my yard gun.I know every kid had one some time in his life. I live in CT not far from where they were made.It's nice to know other's love them as much as I do.I am getting on in years and have kept the good ones but have many parts left over.The one thing I have found that many parts were hand fitted so needed work to make fit plus so many changes through the years mainly with the selectors. Any way I go by OFB (Old farms blue man) Hot blued guns for years + rust blue but see the end of gun work coming up soon.Anyone looking for a part let me know I might have it!! |

Hi, Do you have any knowledge on replacing the .22 firing pin on early models?
Thanks

I just completed rebuilding my 1963 Stevens .22/.410, including reshaping/reinstalling the original .22 firing pin. What do you want to know?

Would like a good 22 extractor for the Stevens 22-410--one I got from Gun-Parts was not correct for the model

The .22 rifle firing pin is not very hard to remove, even with the entire gun assembled. The .22 rifle firing pin is spring loaded. For your information the lower .410 shot gun firing pin is not spring loaded. Make sure that the selector is lowered and not covering the .22 rifle firing pin. Use a flat head screw driver or punch and depress the .22 rifle firing pin inward. Using a small screw driver remove the top of the two retaining screws located on the right side of the receiver just opposite of the .22 rifle firing pin. Slowly remove the flat head screw driver or punch and the .22 firing pin should come out with the small spring. Do not purchase the .22 rifle firing pin from Numrich - the nose is cut the wrong way. I returned the one they sent me and purchased a .410 shot gun firing pin and stoned it to the correct shape. You want the end of the .22 rifle firing pin when installed with the flat on the right side and the nose of the firing pin to be vertical in the shape of an "|", similar to any .22 firing pin when installed. To reassemble, make sure the selector is out of the way, place the .22 firing pin and spring (lightly greased) into the receiver. Using a flat head screw driver or punch depress the .22 rifle firing pin inward. Screw in the retaining screw until it is tight. Back it off about 1/4 turn to allow the .22 rifle firing pin to move freely, but still be retained in the receiver. That is the entire process. Good luck. If I can help out with anything else let me know.

For a replacement .22 extractor you can try Out Back Gun Parts, Inc located in New Albany, IN, phone number: 812-945-0480, website: www.outbackgunparts.com, or email: outbackgunpartsws@sbcglobal.net. He has a large inventory of parts for older model guns. You will need to send him a picture of the part from the gun's schematic including part number, and all of the specifics about your gun. He is not the cheapest place to get parts, but usually has the right parts. |

I picked up nice M 24 (22/410) with a 1962 date code. It needs a new ejector for the 22 brl. I have ordered two different ones from Numrich, two diff p/n's both look identical and neither one fits. Do you by chance have one?
