Thanks to everyone for the advise and no offense taken Heinz. Perhaps I should have clarified that the toggle lock retaining pin, horizontally through the toggle knob, works its way out (forward) during firing; I presume due to intertia at rest. I didn't know whether this could be remedied with something like locktite or if there was another easy solution. Heinz, your suggestion about lightly peening a replacement pin is interesting but if I have to replace the pin I would rather fashion one out of brass so it wouldn't enlarge or distort the hole in the toggle. I have access to a metal shop with jeweler's drawplates and can draw down wire to any size, but would prefer an easier fix (I'm lazy). Has anyone had experience with loose pins and locktite or a similar product? Crazy glue? Thanks. KFS
