The pin won't fit down in the hole. Either oversize pin or undersized hole.

Sad thing is, it worked fine until I come along.

Do the old models have the same arrangement? Have a beat up 357 here I might try to swap if so.

If it fit before, the pin is probably just a bit...

Bent oval shaped. Turn it upside down and see if it'll fit in backwards. You'll be able to see what's up better.

upside down is no go

But something I'd never have thought of, thanks for suggestion

Also tends to be real sharp, might be catching a burr.

that will take out any burrs, then put a tiny bit of grease down in there.

Screwdriver helped some, then remembered

That I have a cordless drill. That did the trick. Action binds up a little here and there, though. I'll tear into it next weekend and see what I come up with.

JB is it just me but when I enlarge

The picture is that a crack in the trigger guard frame right next to the pin? Could that be part of the issue?

Hadn't noticed that. I'll report back
