Hi,
I recently bought a Remington Model 760 Gamemaster, SN: 147'027; Barrel Mfg Code "ZZ" (like 1951 or '52), which the firing pin just broke on. I'm trying to find a reliable site to buy this part from, and everything I've found so far has been questionable. Also, I've heard a lot about a "Firing Pin Spring" for the Model 760 on the retail sites I've been on. My rifle does not have a spring in the Firing pin assembly, or bolt/ carrier housing. Does it require one to function, or were the earlier models not manufactured with one? I haven't fired the rifle yet, but I discovered the pin was broken while practicing with snap caps, loading and unloading the rifle, same as I do with each new rifle I get. At any rate, l would greatly appreciate links to sites which have reliable parts sales, and some advice on what I should do next with this issue.
Thanks
Chris.
