Maxim 08/15 broken lock pin, WTK correct size pin to replace


Recommended Posts

I broke a lock pin on my Maxim 08/15.  I have spares but they do not fit.  The long ones fit the hole but are too long.  The short ones do not fit in the hole because too big around even with slight rubber hammer persuasion.  Any recommendations would be appreciated.  See pic. Thanks for any info.

It should be easy to shorten one of your long ones that fit in the hole.  They are hardened so you likely won't be able to use a file but you could use a Dremel with a cut-off wheel or grinding bit.  Measure your old one with a dial caliper 1st to make sure you don't shorten it too much.  Good Luck!
