Hey guys....just noticed the firing pins on my Searcy had backed out a thread or two. Although I used my finger to tighten them flush....is there a tool to tighten then TIGHT...or at least tighter? Never had a double do that before. Thanks, Gary DRSS NRA Lifer SCI DSC | ||

Thanks, Jeff.....I know Butch, but don't want to send it back to him....just got it back after a re-stock. Are you thinking he could send me a tool for the task?.....that would be fine, but I don't want to send the rifle back to him......I missed her too much over those 5 long months.

Garby, I Can't remember and I don't have a Searcy here to look at! Does the Searcy have the disk with two holes on either side of the nose of the firing pin, or a slot that runs through the pin hole from one side to the other? ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

That would be a hard tool to make at home! I think I'd give Butch a call, and ask where you could buy that tool, or if he makes his own. If he makes his own, ask for a price to make you one, because it is evident you need one! The other two I discribed would be quite easy by simply modifying a screwdriver! ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||
