58 R&D

[reloader4410]

58 uberti w/ an R&D cylinder. One of the firing pins is stuck,I got it to move by soaking it in wd 40 but it is still hard to move.Does anyone make a wrench to remove the firing pin nipple assy? also is there a company that sells replacement  parts? Anyone have this problem & the cure?  Thanks in advance.

made my own driver from a small smith screw driver ...I simply used a Dremel with a cutting wheel to remove the center to clear the PF

But you can buy the tips from Brownells.....


You can replace the FP's with new one from the Smith Shop- Bill English aka Happy Trails, still runs the retail side and on occasion has worked on my pistols since he semi-retired.

There were a batch of FP's Kenny Howell got, that may not been heat treated as they should have been. The result was they would blunt or bend, not all of R&D Cylenders were effected.

I had not had any issues, but bought Smith Shop replacements anyway, all my rebounding type FP's are now Happy Trails
except on my SXS and they will be.
