Slipping M1Super90 Trigger Guard Pin!

[firtree]

I was cleaning my M1Super90 (HK import) the other day, and when I went to

re-assemble it, the trigger guard pin slipped right out of the bushing. I tried

it again, but there is no tension at all on the pin, it just pushes right in and

falls right therough when I put the trigger group back into the reciever. Thinking

that I had somehow stretched the bushing over time I ordered a new one and

, of course, it is also loose! Is there something that I am doing wrong? I have

not stripped the M1S90 in a long time, so maybe I forgot something..? What

keeps the pin from falling through since the bushing is not tight around it?

 

 

Thanks,

F

The pin slips into a bushing, which has a small D shaped spring on one end, with the | part of the D locking into a slot in the bushing as the circle part wraps around the bushing.

This spring engages the groove cut in the pin when inserted.

Aaah! So it sounds like I popped off the spring on the bushing used to retain the pin. Does that sound right?

 

Thanks again,

Yup.

Hope you can find the little sucker!

Thanks, I'll order a few spares, just in case!

Ordered my first extra D-ring in 1991, and have not lost another one since then!
