RoscoeTurner Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 The pins will have to come out, the handle loops are sewn before installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 you drift them out through the sides. Often there are plugs that will need to be replaced with pieces of dowel after you reinstall the pins through the sewn handle. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsider Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) If you are careful when you take out the pins you can re use the dowels you knock out. Use a vise grip to hold the pins and then tap the vise grip sideways with a small hammer to work the pins out. I have done several box handles and it just takes time and patience. I have never asked len (L999here) if he has the handles, but I know Russ (toolmanm203) does. Both can be found at the 1919a4 site.
