Model 81 Firing Pin Retaining Pin Hardness

Post by johnhalf »

Hi All, I am fabricating a FP retaining pin for a model 81 and am wondering if anyone has info regarding the hardness recommended for this part? I will oil harden and my guess would be to temper to a deep blue but would really appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

Hate to send you away but you might also try thegreatmodel8.net site (which I also run) under the wing of the RSA.
