Firing pin spacing, on .410 and 28 gauge shotgun actions?
#182302 - 24/05/11 03:40 AM

I have done quite a bit of conversion work, from shotgun to double rifle, after learning process from W. Ellis Brown, in gunsmithing school a number of years ago, (he later wrote book on same subject, now in 2nd edition), always using 20 ga., 12 ga. and 10 ga. mag. sized actions (10 gauge for .577 full nitro, 20 gauge for 9.3x74R, largest to smallest made), but now am considering doing two or three small calibers, maybe .22 Hornet, .303 British, etc., using small frames. CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE MEASURED DISTANCE BETWEEN FIRING PIN HOLES ON A SXS .410 AND ON A 28 GAUGE?

It depends on the design, third grip or not, and the make of the gun. You will have to measure each gun seperately.

Yes, I know, firing pin spacing varies a bit from one maker to another. However, should anyone have a side by side in .410 and 28 gauge, I would like to know what the spacing is between firing pin holes; that would be a good general idea for me to work with.

Jack I have a Arrita 28 ga for a future project it measures .925 center to center. Hope that helps. Whitey

For a Winchester 21 the spacing is 1.02 inches.---Bill
