    Hi and thanks for responding. The firing pins are missing due to three rowdy boys playing with the gun a half century ago. We snapped it over and over empty and the collars that hold the pins broke in half and fell out. After time it was all lost. I would like to fix it.
    I also would like to know what it might be worth. First year of hammerless.
    I heard the stories of exploding barrels when I was a kid. We used low powder charged reloads and hunted with it quite a bit.
    Thanks
