Does anyone know how to get the firing pin out of a Walther P-38?
(actually a P-1) I have gotten as far as removing the top cover and getting the indicator pin out, but now I am stuck. The extractor would be another item I need to remove. I am getting the slide refinished and want to get all parts out. Any help would be appreciated!

  Thanks, Spider. That's alot better than the one I have.
  I just probably have to have everything in the right position
  to remove it.

  Google "the P-38 forum" There are instructions on how to break down the pistol. I think you go from the cover page to the technical items. Good luck.

  Thanks! There was one tiny little pin retaining the firing pin.
  As soon as I removed it with a pair of needle nose pliers, the firing
  pin came out!
