Here is the current collection of Savage 6,7 and Stevens/Springfield 85,87 rifles and 1 Stevens model 76. Some are stamped as various store brands. No rifle is pictured more than once.

Post up pics of your own Gills...

Here is my Stevens Model 87B (and a couple of Marlins)

Does anyone know where I can get a firing pin for my gill gun ?

Your picture isn't working.
Also, there are 4 possible firing pins depending on several factors. (Numrich has the most likely one listed, but I have found the bolt assemblies sometimes get changed or barrels get replaced over the years. This throws off proper identification.)

The best way I can help is for you to post the following pictures:
1. The hammer and bolt assembly removed from the rifle. Top, bottom, and side view.
2. Remove the stock and get a picture of the trigger and lifter assembly.

This will hopefully give me the clues I need to narrow it down for you.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Trying again with the original image.
I will try later today to get the requested images.

Here you go. If you need anything else let me know.

Also, is the c in a half circle at the rear of the barrel a "C" date code ?

The good news is it appears your bolt assembly is the common design. The part listed by Numrich should work but may need minor fitting.



Yes, that is a poorly stamped date code. That should be full circle and have a # in front of the letter. Luckily the letter is all that's needed to date it.
In your case; C=1951.
That lines up with the # of patents listed on the barrel and the overall action design.
