You can use 3/32" steel rod and peen one end of an approx. 3/8" long piece and then blue the rod. Push the new peened pin in from the outer side of the side frame and the take down lever will hide and prevent the pin from coming out. You have not modified your gun and it has worked for me after several hundred rds. Mine is a 1940/42 "Black Widow" model that looks like it did the day it was made.
