Hi all, new to forum. I have a couple of Model 219's of which one is a utica gun (striker fired). It inconsistently misfires. I have completely disassembled, cleaned, polished rough spots and still suffer from misfires. There is a definitive difference in the striker sound with the misfires. I have thought about replacing the striker assembly with one from GunParts Corp. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This is really strange. I have no idea what may be causing your problem, but maybe someone can help. The striker assembly is not very expensive from GPC, and I would try that if it were my gun. Please keep us posted. Best wishes, Garnett

Thats what i planned to do, just wanted another opinion before i ordered. I plan on ordering a couple of mainsprings from Wolfe also

I did not know Wolfe had mainsprings. Thanks for sharing that with us. I have always heard good things said about the Wolfe springs for other guns.

Yeah, that's very good to know, given the dearth of 210/220 parts out there. Now we need a source of new firing pins and forearms irons!

When I last looked, Numrich still had the stricker assembly for the early guns and regular type firing pins for the later ones. They may be sold out.

I ordered a list of parts for the early 219 yesterday from GunParts of which one was a striker assembly, 24.95 i believe. I received a confirmation email last night that indicated they would ship so i assume they are still in stock

Thanks for the update.

Haven't recievd parts ordered from gun parts, but fixed the misfire issue. The bridge that the striker slides through was not squared. after a few measurements i cranked up the milling machine made a new one. after some polishing and final fitting, re=assembled and fired 40 rounds without a misfire. The firing pin strikes were almmost dead center.
