Hi all,

I'm looking for detailed photo's of the firing pin and the extractor and spring

please include measurements (metric preferred)

i'm unable to buy firing pin's or extractors and extractor springs
so i hope to get the pictures with measurements so i can make or have them made.

Kind regards,
Theo Onstein
 
I also posted this over in the "Ask the pro's forum"

They are getting hard to find in any kind of condition.

Here is mine after 30 years. Only put about 50 rounds thru it since its birth. I sanded out all imperfections on the receiver, smoothed all sharp edges, etc. Then I refinished all the parts with AluminHyde II light grey Colt finish. Used semi-gloss black for buttstock and handguards. Added M16A1 flash suppressor in place of the plastic one. It functions flawlessly. I have 3 spare factory 15 rounders for it. Mint condition. :)

Hello There,
Greetings from gale lashed Scotland
I have just joined the forum. Re your AP74 they were made in Italy and exported for selling under several franchise names like Mitchell and Kimber.
The original version came with either a wooden stock, which din't look all that good and the other was an M16A1 with plastic furniture. Also came in .32acp
They shoot really well and are very accurate. Like all .22s they need cleaning often.
I have had mine since they first came out and still shoot it regularly
If you get one hold on to it as the Italian Government have a ban on exporting stuff just now.
Regards,
Charles Ward
 
Hello,

Just joined when i found this thread.

Does anyone have a useable barrel for sale, or know where i could find one?
I've been hunting Numrich's for months to no avail.

Can these little beauties be relined? Has anyone done this?

BTW if interested, my chamber broke away where the extractor grabs the rim of the cartridge.
 
Don't see any reason it can't be relined, but will that fix your problem... What do you mean by 'chamber broke away?' Can you post a picture of the breech end of the barrel?
 
will have to get a pic taken of it and posted. but basically, it's where the chamber wall is machined away to allow the extractor clip to engage the rim of the 22. about 1/8" of it broke away. it still feeds and ejects but i am getting about 1 in 5 side blowouts from the cartridges since then.
 
Sorry, I just traded one in yesterday but I can tell you where it is Stattons General Store Tomahawk WI 715-453-9200 also traded in a AK47 22 cal. imported by the same company both were in excellent condition
 
A good gunsmith should be able to unscrew the barrel out of the receiver and weld/grind you the missing chamber wall and stop the blowouts . You can also keep searching the gun sites and find a parts AP74 that has a good barrel and change it out yourself .

Here is my AP-74 that I bought used in 1982 for $50 . The extractor mount was broken off but I quickly made a replacement in the shop where I worked at the time and it has shot well ever since . Just this week I decided to cut the carry handle off and convert it to a flat top. I have a picatinny rail that I will mount in its place next week .
