    Unhappy H&R shotgun Model 1900 Firing Pin

    Can anyone tell me how to remove and replace the firing pin of an Harrington and Richardson model 1900 12 gauge and what is supposed to cause the pin to retract back into the breach? This is the one with the forearm held on with a screw and the removable hinge pin for attaching the barrel to the receiver.

    go here:
    http://www.e-gunparts.com/dept.asp

    look up your model
    look at the exploded diagram

    that should give you the answer

    jaybell. Actually the free pdf schematic didn't answer my questioin but the one I got from there for $1.50 confirmed the problem. Unlike most the firing pin is retained by a screw on the top of the breech. I have one of the few models requiring the trigger guard to be removed in order to access the screw as it is on the inside of the breech mechanism. To do that I have to remove the stock, the barrel at fore stock. Then the fun may begin as it appers that the trigger guard is attached from internal hard to reach screws.

    32magnum is probably the best person to answer this. Even though I'm well versed in H&R guns, this is one of those that I have no clue about.
