20 Gauge Firing Pins

I am looking for a pair of firing pins for a 20 gauge Sterly. Are the 12, 16 and 20 gauge pins the same?

Steve,

The firing pins are not separate parts. They are at the tip end of each hammer.

The firing pins should be visible when the hammer is down in the fired position.

And you need two (2)?

AH Fox hammers are sized for 12 or for 16/20. Just a watchout if in fact you do need two of them; used hammers on Ebay etc are often goofed up by amateurs trying to adjust trigger pulls, and realistically there's no way to restore them. frank

Many who do not know better look at a cocked Fox or Parker and think the firing pins are missing. Are you sure you need hammers (pins)?

Not sure. Haven't seen it yet. Will know later this week.

Thank you Brian Dudley! Received the action today from the gentleman that sold it to me. Hammers were cocked and he couldn't see the firing pins and assumed they were missing. Nothing is missing thank goodness. I sure appreciate everyone that responded. Thanks again!

Of course you know that with the previous discussion on the gun, pictures are required.

At your convenience once you get the gun.

We'll be waiting . . . . . .

Jolly, not a complete gun, just the action. I could see why previous owner thought they were missing. You could see daylight through the firing pin holes. Used a block of wood and released the hammers and everything was there and worked as they should

That's good news.

Wonderful..
