Remington Firing Pins

I have several Rem. 700 short action, Rem. XR-100, and one Win. 70 short action that have bushed firing pins.
I have searched, with no luck, for standard factory firing pins, not assemblies, that I can have modified so that I
have spare parts. I only need one of each.
I tried Numrich, Remington, and Brownells but everyone wants to sell assemblies or after market light weight firing pins for the 700.
These are hunting rifles so I figure standard is good enough. I have the tools and hopefully the knowledge to change parts from an assembly to a new firing pin.
Google didn't work, any have any sources?
 
PTG but I have to wonder why you'd go to the trouble to bush firing pins on hunting rifles. You don't have to have a reason other than "just because" but I swear I can't think of a benefit that would be observable in use.

I tend to run my loads where they shoot good and it tends to be a little hot in some causing them to blank primers. The Win. ruptured a primer and flame cut the bolt face.

Thanks for the help. I did find 700 short action firing pins by Calaway at Midway but no XR-100 (model 7)
 
You can take the 700 SA pins and shorten them to fit I believe.
