I had a smith in Illinois replace a firing pin in a NS I once owned. I think he charged me about $30, I remember it wasn't very much. As for the forend, you could repair that yourself with some epoxy. Put epoxy on the split pieces, fit back together, wipe off any excess that squeezes out, and wrap them with an old bicycle inner tube or (lightly clamp them in a padded vice). Let the epoxy cure for an hour then unwrap and carefully wipe off any additional excess epoxy with acetone on a rag. Rewrap the part for at least 12 hours, though 24 hours is better.
