Black River Militaria CII Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Are the pins the correct type with drilled and flared ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 yes...all correct....even on my mp40 i had a pin for the stock that could partially fall out the mag loader pins are all very loose...tip it over and 2 of them fall right out i tried banging them in and flaring them more with a punch, but did nothing....

Black River Militaria CII Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Yeah, get out the bigger hammer......look, the pins were not a good fit to start with so banging on them to widen the flare will not work to toghten the asemblies. You posted me to work on the gun for you but never followed up so now is the time....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) gun is at OOW....its been there for 2 months...im sure they will handle the loose pins on the gun---i prefered the gun go to you!....but did not hear back from you for 2-3 weeks, so it had already been mailed to OOW by the time you got back to me...sorry Robert....i know you are the guy to go to for mp40's.....hopefully OOW will do a great job also---im expecting them to start my gun in 1 month from a recent phone conversation. this is the loading tool ive never worked with rivets...im not going to buy a tool to do 2 rivets....is there a way you can fix this w/o a tool? heres a pic---its 2 out of the 3 that are loose Edited February 27, 2018 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black River Militaria CII Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Well, no problem, but I get a huge number of e-mails evey day and it does help to send another to back up the first if there is no response.OOW will do what needs to be done, but remind them avout the crosspins.I can fix th loader if you want.

huggytree Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 since im sending OOW the barrel for my gun i may as well send them the loader to fix.....i got the loader for 1/2 price....so ill still probably be ok....not like i can use it anyways w/o the gun... i may take the loader to my local hardware store...see if they can do it in the back room while i wait...they are good for that type of stuff.. thanks for the option of sending it to you!... no big deal on the mp40....i figured i annoyed you too much on the forum and you didnt want my business.....which is ok...as a small business guy i turn down people if i think they could be a problem customer.........i have yet to hear anything neg about OOW and they are around 3 months booked out right now.......another one of my guns is at 8 months now and making me a bit crazy for the long wait...
