Firing pin is in the bolt.
There is a retaining pin in the bolt that holds the pin in place.



Remove bolt from rifle.
Knock out retaining pin.
Remove firing pin.
Assemble in reverse.

It is a Monkey Wards store-branded cheapo rifle manufactured for them by Colt. It took me about 15 seconds to find the maker and locate a firing pin at Numrich.

That's because we know where to look...
I'm not sure if the 880a is any different than the 880 though.
The 880 is the Colteer and Numerich even has the parts available as the western field 880 as well as the Colteer.

I didn't look any further than a search engine. At least there is a lot available for this obscure rifle.

Thanks for all the info guys. But the question I should have asked was how do I get the bolt out

More then likely one these cheepo rifles you remove a screw or pin in the trigger group and pull that out. then the bolt comes out.

It would appear that driving the trigger guard pin (#65 in the drawing) would allow you to toggle the trigger group down and out, and then manipulate the bolt out of the bottom of the receiver. Watch out for a grooved, one way pin and fly away little parts. Hard to tell without actually having it in hand.
The new firing pin, assuming that is all that is wrong with it, will also have to be checked/fit for proper protrusion and nose profile. If these skills and knowledge are foreign to you it might be best to take it to someone that has them.

Thank you kendo. So much somehow I missed that diagram on numrich. Listed as part 41 charging handle and spring seems to be holding the bolt in the receiver.

It's a cheap project rifle for a friend who doesn't want to spend much money so ill have to figure out as I go.
