waterdawg2004 Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Get one of these tools, see pic. They came with a Russian tool kit I bought. Also bigbore on this site used to sell them. It allows the pin to follow the punch thru the hole. Also before installing the spring pre-fit it to make sure the tail is not too long. Install firing pin and tumbler only, then leaving the trigger bar out pin the spring in place and look inside the lock with flash light. My longest firing pin I have, would not pin in place because the tail would bottom out against the firing pin, the tail would not go in deep enough. It must be for the original style maxim firing pin, which is shaped different then the Russian firing pin. My Vickers firing pins would not even fit in my Maxim lock because they are too wide.
