Picked up a 1917 Eddystone "Project Rifle". Now I have a box of parts and a stack of furniture.
Bolt needed replacing, but trying to save the firing pin. The pin has a 20 degree bend in it about 1/4" from the end that strikes the primer.
Any suggestions for straightening it out? My first guess is to heat it red, straighten it out and then cool it in motor oil.
