Old Style Model 29

This rifle has been in my family for years and as far as my father and uncle can say, it didn't even shoot when they were kids. So it pretty much sat in a gun cabinet for years. Today though i decided to take it apart and see whats going on. I found the firing pin was in two pieces, easy fix, but the action looked like it was missing something.

First off here is the Rifle.

Here is the side of the action WITH the piece. (sorry its sideways, on my computer its straight, blame the website)

Here is the other side along with the broken firing pin.

You may already get the idea but just for additional visuals here is the fron of the action as well.

Anyone that can give me the name of this small metal piece that i'm missing would be very helpful.
Thank you

Also if anyone knows if this rifle is a 29A or 29B that'd be great. I think this picture may be showing the difference between the two, but doesn't label them.

Edit: Not sure why the last two pictures aren't showering so here is the link to the album itself. The last picture isn't mine so here i'll also include that link

Can't offer you any help as to which model you have....but have a source that may help. I've purchased parts in the past for antique firearms from Numerich's....they have schematics for both the A & B model of the 29....perhaps you can look at them and figure it out. Also....you might be able to purchase the parts you need and get the rifle back in working order.

Good Luck...Hope you can get the rifle working.

I appreciate the reply Senderofan, that is exactly what I needed to see. According to that its the extractor and pin i'm missing. My other question about it being an A or B is, if you look at the first picture of my rifle it only says Model 29. All the other pictures i've seen of other rifles have the A or B. I found this one that is almost a perfect match other then it says Model 29-A, and that one says its post 1898.

I may have something worth some money here.

Thanks again.

Even if it ends up that the rifle isn't worth much.....it still has value because of your family history. I would definitely keep it and get the parts to fix it. Numrich lists both models A & B plus the generic model 29 that I posted. Here's a link to the model "A" schematic: http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/...spx?catid=4441

Good luck.....I acquired several springs for my 1961 High Standard pistol from Numrich....as my last antique parts purchase....they have a ton of parts which is very helpful.
