Can anyone tell me why the model 100 winchester was recalled a

That might be whjen they had the problem with The Fireing pin breaking, recalled for replacment ?

I have one and I like it , A friend who does smithing , replaced the pin which Winchester sent to me

i am currently still doing the re-

call. what happens is that once in

a great while the tip of the firing

pin breaks, sticks foward in the

bolt and when the bolt closes the

gun goes off. winchester (not usra)

pays me to replace the firing pin.

check with your nearest win. warran-

ty repair station (we are one) for

this important recall. the replace-

ment firing pin is square in cross

section behind the tip and the cam

pin it goes into is shaped to acco-

modate it.

The gun smith is correct, however the pins never broke. They were not designed correctly and the firing pin shoulder would wear into the retaining pin and sooner or later stick open and/ or closed. The retaining pin for the firing pin is also the pen that attaches the bolt to the slide. When the firing pin stuck in the firing position the gun chain fires. When the pin sticks in the other side the gun will not fire. I have heard miss informed people state that the gun would explode or some other silly statement. I've used a per 64 for nearly thirty years. I have had it chain fire and hang fire. A new old style pin and retainer will fix for a short. But the new style firing pin is best. The model 100 is one of the best shooting winchester I've ever owned.

do you have firing pins for m100?how much?

tnx
