The front pin of the trigger group wont go through end to end. If I try to pass it through with the trigger group missing, it gets block on the left side of the receiver and both holes are not even aligned with one another. The end result is that, the pin is not perfectly perpendicular to the receiver is about 2-3 degrees off compared to the rear pin. Ontop of this, it appears that the left side pin hole by itself, on the receiver, was drilled diagonally through the metal or was not completly drilled through, so if I try to pass the pin through the left side it, the pin refuses to even pass the hole!

Note that when I took the gun out of the box, both pins were in their right place :confused:

I'm pissed at this...or am I doing something wrong? Working on my old wingmaster, I dont have this problem what so ever.
 
There is a cartridge stop installed on the inside wall of the receiver. It has a hole in it to allow passage of the assembly pin. If you slide the cartridge stop to align its' hole with the hole in the receiver, you will be good.
 
Thanks, It's getting late and I can't see inside this all black shotgun too good, but the magazine stop rail wont slide back. Any technique to budging it?
