    Broken firing pin

    Hello
    I have an Austrian Alexander Henry with a broken firing pin, it has an outside hammer, if I disconnect the lever to block link, can the block be removed from the top of the action? I believe Axel has one of these rifles, so perhaps he will be able to answer

    Removed it out the bottom, not as tough as I expected. Now to find a smith who will make one.

        What caliber? Mine is 8x50r Mannlicher. It is a take down. Sent the pin and block off today, should have it shooting again in a few weeks. It was retailed by A Toman Tyrol.

          Interesting, also 8x50R Mannlicher, but not an take down.
          There is no indication that my gun was manufactured in Austria,only proofed in Suhl.
          No marks Kind of mystery, there are no comparable weapons, not even in catalogs etc.
          No markings whatsoever that allow any conclusions to be drawn about the manufacturer.
          Only the "Miller&Greiss" company name on the barrel.

          Block rifles with hammer were manufactured exclusively in Austria and England, I am not aware of any German manufacturer.

            This rifle has been misfiring since I got it several years ago, I always blamed it on a weak hammer spring and hung it on the wall to wait for a future date.I took it down last week and accidentally fired it without a round in the chamber the block would not open. ​​​​​​knew right then a broken firing pin was the cause of the misfires all along. The proof mark is quite faint I believe it is the Ferlach proof mark.

              The firing pin should be easily to fix , it is not an complicated part.
              Would you show the proof marks?
              I really like your rifle, real interesting.

                I will try to take a photo of the marks. The Austrian mark is very faint, the best I can make out seems to be a Ferlach mark. I use 8x56r PPU brass reformed and shortened to make 8 x 50r . 49D6D90D-9154-4BC4-8E0D-128131FA85CB.jpg CC75B292-AA8E-4780-8961-1A7279301117.jpg
