I have to clarify, I also only saw the one, I assume that's what Test Drive was referring to. My response was "hey, it's great to see any firing pins available"... if you look around, that's been the Achilles Heel of the Stars, the firing pin is brittle and will break if dry-fired. I don't note anything else reported to be at-risk, other than the springs for routine maintenance.I looked for a firing pin in Numrich and only saw one. It didn't specify whether it was the "safe" one or not. Would you please post a link to the correct safe replacement?
Thanks.
FWIW, Bill DeShivs states that he makes firing pins, but his are more pricey.
As long as you use a snap cap and some common sense, I doubt the older type is any problem.
