The US pin is thicker than the chinese pin. You have to make a copy of a chinese pin in the US length........

Everyone should have a copy of Jerry Kuhnhausen's book. I keep it by the computer to reference questions such as this.

"you don't have to fill in the relief on expensive stocks such as a Troy or JAE."


I stock the proper pins just for that very reason, the 2 pins involved are $12.00

Hope I get the terminology of this thread right here: For a Norinco, how do you get the "lock pin" out of the connector? I think it should just pull out but I can't get it to come. I would rather save it, but if I have to put any more plier teeth marks on it I may as well take an angle grinder to it.
