Firing pin replacement?

Field stripping my Type 14. Unfortunately the firing pin is broken as I've heard is common with these guns. The fragment is not present in the channel. However the pin is serialized and matches the frame which is cool. I'm wondering the best way to source a replacement?

M1911A1 and Nambu Type 14 - my two acquisitions thus far this year

Going for quality over quantity this year I guess. This time last year I was was up to 4 of an eventual 10 additions! Excited though as these are my first two true WW2 pistols.

I do have a military Beretta 1934 but it was made in 1947, a Spanish Astra 400 (neutral country), and a WW1 French Ruby that has some signs of WW2 use (hole in slide for holster disc). Not sure if I should count those or not. What do you think?

Monthly payment amount somehow 4 dollars?

On PAYE. My monthly payment amount has always been $810. I just noticed that the monthly bill sent to me has my "amount due" as 4 dollars now, though my autopay amount is still the same $810 it's always been. Going back it's been this way for several months and I'm just noticing it now. About to submit my yearly ECF. Any idea why this is happening, if it means anything at all, or if I should be worried?

Saving the turts - 2014 vs 2026

Eastern box turtles like to hang out in the middle of mountain bike trails. Usually have to move one or two a year so they don't get squashed by someone less attentive. I usually take a photo.

Optics question: Romeo-X Sigloc Pro vs M17 Optic

I am very confused by Sig's naming conventions.

Ok so I have a Sig P365 AXG Legion with a Romeo-X Sigloc Pro Compact

I plan on getting a P226X Legion in the short term future for which I plan on getting a Romeo-X Sigloc Pro.

In the long-term future I also want an M17 for my collection for which I guess I would get the M17 optic. My question is - I know the M17 optic has a Sigloc mount, but is it the same Sigloc mount as the Romeo-X Sigloc Pro? Like would the slide on my future P226X Legion and M17 have the same optics cut such that the two optics would be interchangeable? Is the M17 optic just a brown version of the Romeo-X Sigloc Pro?

Also FWIW I live in NY a 10-rd mag limited state so the M17X is not an option (for now) since they only ship with 21rd Mags.

Gunbroker seller sent to wrong address?

Recently won a Type 14 Nambu on gunbroker. Seller is personal check or money order only. I typically like to pay via credit card but I've sent money orders in the past without issue. Seller indicated to me via email that he received my payment about a week after I sent it and gave me a USPS tracking number about a week ago (though did not update the order status on gunbroker). I've been following the tracking number and it just showed delivered today in....Utah. My receiving FFL is in New York.

I am hoping this is just a case of a wrong tracking number.

I immediately reached out to the seller via the gunbroker portal and created a customer service inquiry with gunbroker. Waiting to hear back from both. I can see this becoming a big deal. Anything I'm missing? Has this happened to anyone else?

UPDATE - seller got back to me. Apparently this gun was previously listed and won but the buyer didn't pay. I won the re-listed auction. Seller got the orders mixed up and sent to the FFL of the original bidder. He seems to be on top of it now that he realized the error. Hopefully this gets sorted out.

Messing around with my new C330 on a walk around the neighborhood. Getting used to the controls and using a waist level finder. This was my second test roll. First time with Gold 200 in medium format. Really impressed by how vivid the colors are rendered. Not sure if that's purely from the film stock or the lens as well. Portraits were overexposed by a stop (intentionally), energy facility was underexposed by a stop (unintentionally).

Considering getting the 55mm. I bought this camera with the intention of doing some night urban landscape photography. Curious what everyone's experience is with that lens.

I recently purchased a new (to me) 6x6 medium format film camera - a Mamiya C330 pro F. This is a TLR camera made in the 1970s. I brought it down to Bellport Bay Yacht Club to shoot a test roll and make sure the camera functioned appropriately. I shot a roll of Lomography 100 that expired in 2016. These were the results.
