I did read your post, and was thinking about it...I have some JB Weld, but have not been impressed with it...(tried to fix a mistake I made some time ago on an 80% AR-15 receiver)...I am hesitant because the thought of something falling off and getting stuck bothers me...

I also thought of sleeving it with a brass ball point pen refill...or a steel "U" on the tip...

What I will probably do is order a piece of 2" 4140 steel rod and make one...

I owned an M30 Broomhandle some years ago, and IIRC, it was a real bear to push that lock up...I couldn't push it with my finger; had to use a brass punch...

FWIW, I quench my springs in Canola Oil...
