I am needing a Firing Pin for A 30/06 Center Fire Rifle. Anyone know where one can be had?

    hotshot18,

    The Raptor and it's slightly upscale brother, the Peregrin, were inexpensively manufactured rifles. The action and bolt were cast stainless steel with many of the remaining parts either investment cast or molded.

    I'm not aware of any parts that survive in quantity. The action is basically a Remington M700 design so you could have a gunsmith test a Remington M700 firing pin for fit, function and safety but I wouldn't hold my breathe. It may cost more to find and fit a firing pin than the whole rifle is worth.

    I did a quick check at Numerich but you should look at Jack First and some of the other parts suppliers. Put an ad in the GB 'Wanted" forum and some of the other forums that have want ad sections.

    This is an article by Holt Bodinson which demonstrates just how far writers would go to help an advertiser:

    Good Luck with your search!

    Best.
