This problem was the reason that Mauser in 1934 went to a hump back frame, a frame extension at the rear to better contain the pin, and the NAVY models went to a enlarged head on the axle pin. Also Stoeger (modern AIMCO, MITCHELL, etc) use a larger pin. The first thing to check is does the pin have it full "ridge" I have seen some that have had the ridge removed for what ever reason. If you have a messed up pin, all you need probably is a new pin with the correct head on it. If that is not the case, I would think it is mismatch and a worn frame/reciever stop. Check the pin head first and let us know! Thanks
