the current pin measures .437 or 7/16" and is 1.045 long, i have several pins at work we are going to center grind, im grinding just 1 to .438, and will test fit it to MY gun, my goal is to remove any play that my heed accuracy, my goal is to get to a size i have to tap in with a plastic head hammer, hardness tests have been measured on the original pin, and this hardness will be duplicated also

You could just order one from Bellm. Don't reckon that would be as much fun though.

I had a local machinist make me up 6 hinge pins of slightly differing sizes for an Encore, then wound up using the one I got from Bellm. Still have those other pins laying around somewhere but no longer have an Encore.

i may end up ordering from bellm, but im going to give my machinists a chance first
