Broken firing pin H&R sportsman...need help

[love22s]

Hello all,
I have an H&R sportsman...I'm pretty sure it is a 1st year model (1932) as it has SN #986.

Well the firing pin broke on it, and I can't find a replacement. Apparently there was an early firing pin design, and then H&R changed it significantly. Numrich only has the newer version (trust me...I now own one!)

Does anyone here have an early version and is willing to take the pin out and do some measurements for me?

My broken one has all the rear portion in place, so I can measure this with my calipers, but I can't measure what is missing (the portion forward of the large dia section...all the way to where the pin engages with the .22 casing).

I would appreciate any help you could give...

Thanks,
Todd

I tried Numrich already...they only had the newer version of the pin...and now I am the proud owner of a pin that is no use to me!!

I've run into the same problem - I'd been looking for a firing pin (frame mounted) for a "NEW DEFENDER" (2" barrel 9 shot .22 Sportsman) for about 10 years. I also ordered one from Numrich and got the one used in the 1950s - 60's guns. I finally bought a beat up parts gun Sportsman to salvage the firing pin - although I've not gotten around to doing the swap as yet, I do have the correct firing pin.
