Wanted to say thanks again for the tips and leads for the parts I need to get my 00 Grade back into the field. I found the set screws for the firing pin bushings at Jack First in Rapid City, SD, and the firing pin bushings themselves at Wind River Rifles.
Speaking of Wind River Rifles, I spoke with Bob and he was MORE than helpful in me making an order for these bushings. He told me in his experience he has come across 3 different diameter firing pins and thus he machined these new bushings to the smallest diameter he has encountered. Worst case scenario, my Smith will have to open them up some for a bigger firing pin, and then machine the set screw hole.
Finding these parts will help my Smith in the process as it will be less work for him to have to make the parts from scratch. That in turns saves me some $$$, I appreciate the help guys...coming soon, I hope anyway, some actions shots of this gun as well as a 16g Field doing what they were meant to do, and that is shoot. I am putting away all my modern shotguns this year and shooting these two guns exclusively for what ever game I pursue, and also all my sporting clay shoots, trap shoots, skeet, etc...you get the picture.
