Luger locking bolt spring

Skorper,Take the top cannon off the pistol.. Place the pin untill it lined up with the hole as best it can. With the cannon off you can look directly into the well and be on top of the pin. Take a wood stick, preferably your Wife's cuticle stick and from the top push the pin down untill it lines up . It has a slight curvature. When it is pushed into the hole it will form an arc to keep the locking bolt in place. The short end of the pin should be nicely rounded. This will help guide it into the hole.
If you have bought a repro you are screwed. Throw it away and see if Tom Heller has an original.
Good Luck!
