cfr 4 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Greetings. Just did my first conversion for a friend. Stupid easy thing to do. Had no idea . Anyways, after everything was put back together we realized the rivet that holds the trigger in place isn't all the way flush, and we cant get it all the we flush either. I'm concern that this thing will wiggle outward during firing. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a non-issue? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,742 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 You didn't say what model. Which side isn't the axis pin flush on? If it's the left side it's normal. Pictures would help. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,930 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Is it in the hole, and is the retaining clip or plate solidly locked into the groove on the pin? If not, then the gun is not ready. Also you should be able to poke the pin from the left side of the receiver without it moving out of the hole on the left side. My guess is that you have your shepherd's crook or retaining plate on the wrong side of the pin groove and it is preventing you from fully seating the pin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just took it all apart, paid more attention to that, and put it back together. Issue seems resolved. I actually got really lucky by doing all of this, as I realized the front river that holds the hammer in place wasn't through the bolt hold open. Thanks!

gunfun 3,930 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Glad you got it sorted. p.s. The Code of Federal Regulations isn't all that popular around here. Were you trying to start fights with that screenname? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
