I was wondering if I could weld a small bead on the end of the firing pin on my Stevens 987 22lr. It had been used a lot before I saved it from going to the junkyard. The firing pin was completely wore out and wouldn't fire. After a few strokes with a file to sharpen it, it worked a little better, but misfires occur pretty often. The firing pin just barely leaves a dent and protrusion is minimal. It needs to be made longer and I think a small weld bead on the end would work with some file work and measuring. I need a better opinion then my own though. I haven't done it before.
Heres the link if you wanna see what the firing pin looks like. I don't feel like taking pictures. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/ad/109990.htm#109990G
