HS52 Stalking Rifle
My father-in-law brought an HS52 stalking rifle (drop block, 22 Hornet, single shot) back from Germany (Bitburg). He gave it to my wife, but it is missing the firing pin (removed for stateside shipping). Any suggestions where I might be able to pick one up? Any suggestion where I can find out about the rifle - no luck using Google.

Numrich is the biggest parts place in the country.

If anyone has it, they will.
Many of the older smiths can fabricate parts as well.

M--- doesn't have a lead?
Once you get a pin, sounds like you will need to test it

It Works!
Finally got some ammunition for the .22 Hornet rifle and had a new firing pin made for it. Took it to an indoor range today to work out the zero on the scope. At 75 feet, the very first shot group could be covered with a dime, but was way low from target center. Based on ballistics for the 22 Hornet round, it looks like the zero was established for 200 yards. After an hour of working with it, I finally got a 5 round shot group you could cover with the end of an unsharpened #2 wood pencil. Hot Damn, not bad for an old fart!
I will now put it on the market and look to get me a nice 308 bolt gun.

Pictures coming tonight after work. I will also post pictures of the targets used in the zeroing process. I saved the brass (once fired) in case someone wwould like to reload.

22 Hornet is one of those nice rounds. I have it for my Thompson Contender in a pistol barrel and carbine barrel.
