This is the 4th time ive broken down this gun and cleaned it. Each time the pin would fall out of the bolt after a few taps of the rear carrier onto a table, then it would go all the way back in with maybe a little push.
Now after this cleaning I had to push the pin back into the bolt and it wont come back out with just tapping the carrier on the table. I can pull it out, but it won't come out unless I do even after applying some clp. I also ran a pipe cleaner through the bolt with no resistance. I did accidentally drop the pin onto the concrete floor, roughly 2' drop. Could that have bent the pin? Should I just shoot it and not worry, or buy another pin? |
| To check a firing pin's straightness, just pull the bolt out of the carrier, insert the cam pin into the bolt, insert pin into bolt (through cam pin), fully seated, and spin the pin. It should spin freely with no "high spots" in it's rotation/spin. If it hits something each revolution, just buy a new pin. |
