M305 problem-magazine release pin falls out

[Sharkson]

Problem:

New Norinco M305 back from Jeff at Valley - he gave me his SOCOM treatment. Nice job. But, unrelated to his work, the magazine release pin keeps coming loose. This keeps the mags from seating and turns this wonderful rifle into a single shot.

Anyone know what size rolled pin I could use to replace what's there? Or should I just remove the pin and "resize" it somehow?

Thoughts, recommendations?

Thanks.

I've got zillions of pins in various sizes. Where in ON are you located ?

You could always mail me the trigger group and I can fix it for you....

M1A owners, I'll also fix your Springfields and won't tell anybody on the CGN board. ha ha ha ha

Cheers,
Barney

LOL. Step away from the rifle sir!

I still have my second M305 as backup to enforce my will. I took Hungry's advice and bought two!
