    Colt SAA Firing Pin

    I've had the firing pin rivet come out of my Single action. My gun has the small spring and two detent balls in the firing pin, which I didn't lose. I assume I can just insert these in the firing pin prior to insereting it into the hole in the hammer. I will need a new firing pin rivet.

    Is the rivet a press fit, or do I have to stake it in place?
    Any help?

    Fixed.........

    During examination of the parts, I figured I'd replace the spring and detent balls. I ordered the parts from Numrich and they came in pretty promptly. In discussing the problem with my gunsmith, he offered to do the installation free of charge.

    I picked up the hammer yesterday afternoon and within the hour had the Colt re-assembled. Plan on trying it out tomorrow at the range.




    It's the bottom Colt in the photo.
