We use a lot of metric 12.9 bolts. These are very strong and clamp very tight as long as torqued to spec. Torqueing bolts to 3500 ft lbs requires a good torque wrench. :D

A better one than I have :)
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Many things mechanical are meant to be strong but slightly bendable too! :wink: Bill

Still didn't get to fire this rifle yet, I have a new firing pin and a sling inbound from liberty that should be here in a few days. I'll wait for the new pin before firing it with the dull one in the rifle.[/quote]

Here's another source, just ordered one for my M38.

Well, tomorrow is the day I take the M39 and M27 to the range, I got the new firing pin for the M39, the one in it was a little too short. Today I also got my Okie headspace gauges so I know for sure I am gtg.

Top is the replacement I got from Liberty.
