Hello, used 3/32 pin punch to remove a roll pin per instruction video ( for SAR 9 striker pin held in place) . It became so badly deformed that there was no way I could put it back
Now I need to order a new one- do I reorder the same as pin punch used or slightly larger ?
Also,is there a trick in putting them in place without deforming them ( I used plastic hammer) ?
Can I use a simple steel pin of the same diameter instead of roll pin - like the one I had to take out when replacing ejector on my 1911- that seemed much easier ?
Just to mention that this roll pin is the only thing that holds extractor in place so I am not sure if changing it with solid steel pin is OK due to the wiggle of extractor when it does it job
Thank you everyone
