Rob, You might try another pin. From your photo yours does not look like it reaches the edge of the flange like it might be a few thousands smaller than it should be.. Find a DWM WW1 pin ..that could be an easy fix.

Norm and Doug are right..it's a design flaw recognized by Mauser. Mauser also had different diameter pins for what I can only guess might have been for a tighter fit.
