Can bolthead retaining pin from a large firing pin be used with a small firing pin ?

[bythebook]

I have a small bolt head & have gotten a small firing pin, but cannot find a small retaining pin. Several places advertise the retaining pin but don't describe if there is a difference.

Thanks,

Gordon

Get your smith to order you the correct retention pin. Actually your ffl can order it as well.

Brownells has it in stock for less than $3.

Thanks geargrinder and stangfish Brownells had one in stock. That doesn't happen very often anymore that a CO. has in stock what you need.
