Removing the pin

[Plane_nuts]

I performed the same mod to my CT compliant rifle last week. However I did not make another hole in my stock by drilling all the way thru. Just need to drill enough of the factory roll pin out so I could slide the stock off. The I Dremel the pin flush. Added a new larger pin the stock at half collapsed using the existing hole. Looks just like factory, only way to tell is if you stick a flashlight down the stock tube where you see that there are two pin holes. Have to avoid the Yankee states awb felonies

Then you aren't hitting it enough. I've done it to about a dozen of them for friends and it worked every time. In all cases, the pin was an aluminum roll pin. Maybe someone changed the design of the pins.

I was hitting it plenty hard. I split open the back side of the mag on the seam (glue gave loose). What glue works best on ploymer ? I would like to glue the back side seam. However it does still function.

My pins were solid. Some one might have caught onto the trick. You can buy the innerds from S&W and they look just like 25 rounders with the red followers & pin,except they say 10 on the side.

I'm still ahead. I paid half of what a 25 round one cost. No one wanted them and they had sat from day one.

Move to Florida, then all you will have to worry about are the bugs and the pythons.

Tough to hit the bugs, but the pythons are easy, Ah, I luv Melbourne Beach in the Winter.......Plum

Most of the LocTite CA glues will work. Sorry you had the problem; all that I did bent in the middle and popped out of their holes without any problem.

cool!

Didn't work for me, unfortunately - and I was using a drill press.

Mag pins were easy for me. As pic shows the pin was aluminum and only took a couple of love taps against my leg like in pic 2.

Yup. That's the way I did it. Took all of 45 seconds.

Same style screw driver,different hammer (bit bigger) and "love tapped" the bageba's out of it. Even wood blocked it in a vice and gave it a good wackin'. That's when the back of the case split. So I went to exploratory drilling after getting a measurement off the first one (with the flat tip plung bit). Dead on hits with the small drill bit on the other two. The first case opened just enough with a larger flat tip screwdriver to grab the pin with a needle nose vise grip and it tugged out hard (almost like it had been glued). All three were solid pins,not hollow spring pins like yours. As long as they had sat at the LGS,it could have been an early model mag??? Anywho,they ARE 25 rounders now and work just fine.

Now I'm going to try Majorlk's idea and LocTite CA the split one and clamp it for a couple days.

The trick is to use a bit exactly the size of the pin and hit it dead center. I used a drill bit index kit. I really didn't want to create another hole on the opposite side of the stock. I will be repinning mine this week because I'm not satisfied with the size roll pin I used. It slid in too easy. A tighter one will get rid of the wiggle of the stock on the tube

That's what I tried. The second hole doesn't bother me and won't bother my grandson, either. The 15-22 is shooter, not a safe queen.

Glad it works. I just tend to be OCD with these things. It comes with the job. Nothing beats a proper fitting stock

My 10/25 mag pin was solid as well. Split the mag open and it dropped right out. Glued it back up and it works just like the rest except the helper pin that Majorlk is sending over.

 

[Majorlk]

Bummer ... I forgot to put it in the mail today. Tomorrow for sure. Old people have short memories.

 

[TacoDaTugBoat]

No worries.

 

[Majorlk]

No worries.

On the way ...

Came in last night. Hardest part of the install was unloading the mag MANUALLY!! Just felt weird. But it gets dark so early now that I only get to shoot on the weekends, and that is if my honey do list allows.
Thanks Majorlk

 

[Majorlk]

Yea, It's something of a sin to unload them manually. If God had meant for them to be unloaded manually, He wouldn't have given us guns!!!

Glad to help ...
