Navy Toggle Train

[Olle]

Cool, keep us updated on the progress! I just picked up a Navy barrel and rear toggle myself, so now I just have to figure out how that sight comes apart so I can refinish it.

The coupling link pin holds the slider on! ...best to you, til...lat'r....GT

I have only had two cups of coffee this morning, so I'm not sure if I understand... There is an L-shaped dowickie that I suspect needs to be removed somehow, but I don't know how to go about it.

That little slanted arm on the left hand side, is just an extension from the pin that goes thru to hold the coupling link, (part that goes down into the recoil pivot arm, bellcrank??)... drive that pin out from right to left... Push in the button, and the sight slider will come of the toggle... ..best to you, til...lat'r...GT

Aha, I thought there was a way to wiggle it out. Ok, I'll pound it out then.

support the toggle well, have a flat face perfect dia. punch... and tap straight.... it should really push out... but you aren't going to find a replacement... ...proceed with extreme caution.... best of luck to you Olle, til...lat'r....GT

There is no problem that a BMFH won't solve!...
