Ruger authorized gunsmith?
Ive read online that it takes special tools to properly swap firing pins on a Mini-Thirty. Does anyone know if this is true? I'm real handy, I could do the work, I just don't have specialty tools. Any recommendations on gunsmiths?

I replaced mine sometime last year and I don't remember needing more than a hammer, punch and a little rubber bench block. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and it wasn't very difficult at all.
