if hes a genious with metal, just have him make a whole new one. might be easier for him than to jimmy a fix.
its been done for generations. its a common thing to see a broken firing pin... in a smiths world.

Stuckinthe60s,

I thought about this. He does not have a lathe to form the firing pin but I guess he could make the rest of the piece.
