I recently installed a replacement firing pin for this very old rifle - a family heirloom that after 50 years is again in firing form. Spooky accurate and serious fun, a wonderful old rifle. Old enough that it has no serial number.
Does anyone KNOW if the this rifle had an inertial firing pin or not? The replacement is long enought that a blow on the rear of the uncocked bolt ('cocking piece')will fire the rifle.
My question is if anyone knows whether or not this was originally filed back to make it inertia firing only - i.e. the firing pin will not hit the primer if the 'cocking piece' is lowered to the rest position?
Thanks for your help
