  You have to ascertain if BSA=Birmingham Small Arms, was the original manufacturer or not. Most likely it was made by another company to be sold under the BSA name.
  
  To figure out who the actual manufacturer is we need quality photos of all the markings on the shotgun, or a very specific description of them.
  
  
  EDIT #1, The original British, Birmingham Small Arms, company went out of business in the 1980's. This was long before any of the Turkish made o/u's were being imported. I know that the rights to use BSA's name was sold to some Chinese company because I have seen a lot of scopes and red dot sights made in China being sold under BSA's name.

  Made in Turkey for BSA, and I doubt any two parts were made by the same Turk contractor. Small parts metallurgy and quality control leave much to be desired. You'll be time and money ahead, if you just fabricate one......or both firing pins if you don't want to be working on it again in 6 months.

  Some BSA shotguns were made by SKB, they even have SKB marked buttplates on them. If so, SKB series 500 parts may fit.
