| My friends M1A has a loose op rod guide. We ordered a new pin from Fulton Armory but that did not help. Any suggestions? |
| I'm no expert. But this is my findings. It can be slightly loose and still be deemed acceptable. If it's flopping around then there is Knurling the barrel and reinstalling. This takes a lathe and a machinist . I have heard of epoxying it but never tried it. Hopefully someone else will chime in. I have a flopper on a Chicom barrel. ( Norinco ) . Good luck WarDawg |
| I had the same prob and did a "temporary" fix that I haven't needed to finish. I took out the rollpin, expanded it 7/8ths of its length with a needle punch, put the narrow end back in the hole and forced it in with a brass drift. Locked up dead center and tight, 2000 rounds later, no give. Might want to try that. |
