I was wondering if a 10/22 firing pin right from the factory had to be custom fitted, or is it a drop in part. Thanks. |

I would go for a after market pin, but my factory one lasted about 10,000 rounds. And plus there only like $2.50 from Ruger. The reason I asked this question was because i went to a gunsmith last week and I was just going to buy a firing pin off him. Well, he said that I couldn't do that because they need fitted from the factory, and he would do that for about $35.00. So this guy was going to charge me $35.00 to change out a $2.50 part that would take him about 10 minutes. That kind of stuff burns my ass. Thanks. |

IIRC you can buy a firing pin somewhere online - Brownells, Midway? If you try to get one from Ruger they will tell you to ship the bolt to them so they can install it. They will no longer send out separate firing pins. I don't know why and can't rationalize it really... As for your gunsmith - He is bullshitting you. Call Ruger at 603-865-2442 |
