PHatBoy I went and posted your question for you. It's under the Carbine Corner section.Read it and see if that's what you wanted to ask. If not let me know and I'll edit it for you.That post is only one of two in that section.I'm not a Smith but there has to be a way to stop that pin from backing out.I would suggest taking it to another gunsmith to evaluate it.We'll play it by ear and see what happens.
