"The retaining pins get worn and I have had several not want to hold onto the breach block. Just worn down."
Ed,
by this I think you mean the little "lug" on the side of the retainer?
I've seen that too, and a dab of weld and reshaping will fix it.
Depending on the welder and the material used to make the weld- the weld may well be stronger and harder than the original breech block steel.
I would call it a permanent repair. JMHO.
