Kilrik,
I`m seriously thinking that you are looking at the wrong part for the bolt. The part you are referring to in your links is the striker or rear part of the firing mechanism. I`ve never heard of one of them breaking but possibly have been lost if someone disassembled the bolt for some reason. The forward (front) firing pin, the fragile one that breaks is a different part. I looked at the Numrich diagram and find that there is only one front firing pin (Diagram number 80-19) used in all the model 80 and 81 series Marlins. Their part number is 402950A for the front firing pin. I would recommend replacing the front spring (part # 420595) also when replacing the firing pin.
Hope this is of some help and not more confusing for you
