Tight Pin

mjanway · 07-02-2011, 10:49 PM

The front cross pin on my toggle assembly will not move. One reference I am using says to not force this pin as it could cause deformation or breakage of parts. I am afraid of trying to drift it out after reading this. I was trying to get into more of a thorough cleaning than field stripping offered when I noticed that my extractor number did not match the rest of my pistol. Now I'm curious to what else is in there. So, is there a trick to this? Soak and loosen? Drift it out? I'm dealing with a alphabet commercial. Thanks.
