Anyone have one they would sell or know where I could buy one?

Not selling mine, but if you are nearby (NW PA) you are welcome to use it.

 

Thanks, but quite a drive from central Iowa.

 

You can also carefully use a long tapered punch to flatten out the strike damage.

 

:t:t Works great to flare out the nasty sharp edge, then use the flat end to flatten
out the raised edge as best you can. Then polish the edge with a tapered bullet fine grain point Cratex abrasive point in a Dremel if available.

Most importantly, find out why the firing pin is hitting the chamber edge in the 1st place, and correct it. Gobs of info on RFC about what to do about that. Search is your friend.

 

Thats a shame. That was a great tool. One of the old gunshops around me had one and would let good customers use it. Closed now. I've used a tapered center punch on a couple old bolt action .22s to push the dented metal back in. Guns are fine now. Find one that just lets the taper in 1/4" or so you don't want to be into the throat. I lubed it and pushed and rotated the punch. Took a little more time than the iron. Just a thought. Good luck.

 

I take it, they quit making these??

 

Seems like as there've been a few requests lately by members who can't find any. Get a tapered punch that fits and have someone weld a long enough steel rod to it.

 

nater3 PM me with contact details and I will loan you mine , keep in mind I am mailing from Canada so it will take a week or so.

 

Midway has the Menck back in stock.
