stevens model 106 restoration

[ohiobenito]

hey everyone.  I inherited  a very used and abused stevens model 106(as far as I can tell)  theres little in the way of markings on the barrel or receiver anymore.  I stripped and blued the steel, and am going to leave the wood as is.  But I do need a firing pin.  The old one broke off right where it thins down.  I'm pretty depressed because Numrich has two parts for this shotgun.  If anyone knows of a parts supplier or a way I could find a firing pin for this thing it would be appreciated. 
thanks for your help

Hey guys, I still have had no luck finding a real model number or markings on this thing,   No parts that look  familiar either.   
I've taken some measurements  and have sterted to turn down a phillips bit for a screwgun.  the starting diameter and the groove in the shank of the bit to lock it in the apex are almost identical as the diameter of the pin and the slot it needs.  Only hard part is turning down the nipple for the pin.   I have been spinning the bit in a drill motor and grinding with a dremmell.  stop and remeasure.  I'll let ya know how it goes.  maybe even figure out how to post a pic.

thanks

made the firing pin and test fired the shotgun.  I need to turn down another with a slightly llonger nipple so I have room for a return spring of some kind.  There wasn't one when I took it apart, but I did catch the tip of the pin on the extractor if I wasn't careful.
