OK, here is my situation. I was assembling my RRA receiver last night. I put in the pivot pin spring, detent and pivot pin. I guess I was putting pressure on it, so when I got it in, it slid completely in. What I mean is, it hit the first detent hole, then the pin slid to the next hole. So cool, I got it in without losing the detent. Boy was I wrong. The detent somehow got stuck in the pivot pin hole. I mean really stuck. It wouldn't budge at all and I couldn't push the pin out. I had to use a punch and a pretty good size hammer to get it to move, and what happened was, the pivot pin actually broke. I was wondering if this ever happened to anyone else. I didn't use grease, but I did use oil. I guess I will try and round off the end of the next detent before I put it in. |
Actually, thats what happened to me also, except the pin broke in half, instead of bending. I had to keep pounding it until I could get the wedged pin out. Man, I was panicking for a bit. |
