I am working on an old Browning Light Twelve Auto 5.
I have run into a problem with removing the pins that hold the Magazine Cut-Off and the Cartridge Stop.
When I attempted to drive them out from the bottom they touched the top of the receiver before they could be released.
My solution was to cut them off and finish driving them through.
The Carrier Latch on the opposite side of the receiver uses the same roll pin and I had no issues driving it through.
My questions are how did Browning intend for these to be removed? and have these been replaced before with the wrong length roll pin?
The length of these three identical pins are 1" (seems 3/4" should suffice).
Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
