Base Pin


Uploaded with ImageShack.us

A friend of mine has this revolver...

I know it's not worth much but it has sentimental value to him as it was his fathers...

Problem is that he can't find the base pin...

I beleive the make is QFI (Quality Firearms Inc)Western Ranger...

Any sugestions as to having one made or finding a replacement???

Thanks...

There are a gazillion ways to do this either by locating the correct one, having one made, finding a generic replacement that happens to fit or reworking the frame and cylinder to accommodate a generic pin. Not exactly a gazillion is it... Big Grin

Never retired, still a Marine. When I was deployable, we only had to know how to count high enough to safely play with hand grenades. Anything beyond that was considered overkill. Big Grin

If you can give me an idea of the diameter and lenght I will see if I don't have something that will work. I have a few in my neat stuff box
