1928A1 Bolt Spring Help!


Recommended Posts

How thick is the 1928 buffer you are using? The PK buffers are typically the same thickness as the WW2 hard buffers.

 

Disclaimer: My disintegrating 1928 neoprene buffer mentioned in an earlier post was NOT a PK sourced buffer.

Standard WWII red buffer.

OK based on this drawing and Bruce's measurements, his pilot is approx.5/32" short. That does not seem like a huge number but it may be enough to cause an issue.

 

Bruce,

When you go to re-assemble the gun are you leaving the pin inserted in the takedown hole and the spring trapped and compressed on the pilot until after everything is in place and aligned? Basically, pulling out the pin should be the last thing you do before putting the lower back on the upper.

I have installed a different solid buffer pilot that is a tad longer than the original one.
