I just inherited my dad's Air Force survival gun - a Stevens over & under 22 & 410. The firing pin won't work on the 410. It will fire when I hold it vertical & shoot it up in the air but won't when I hold it horizontal. It feels like it could be a missing spring or just a broken firing pin. Any suggestions? Anyone know where I might find firing pin parts for such an old gun? Heard Stevens stopped making firing pins & other parts for these. The 22 shoots fine.

Any advice out there?
