Modell 5 - crap, I broke it

I was an idiot and dry fired my Modell 5. :eek: Sure enough, I see this piece of metal fly out the barrel. Upon finding the metal, I knew immediately I broke the firing pin.

I've got a few emails into the usual suspects who carry parts. Hopefully I'll hear back from them on Monday and will be able to get a replacement.


I was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and either "welded" the pin back together or made a new one?


Thanks,


Devin

It might be possible to find a welder who does electric welding and who can work on small items. However, consider that a weld leaves a metal scar that on a firing pin would have to be a braided to smooth. By the time you pay for all that labor you would likely be better off getting a custom precision parts maker to machine a new one.
