I don't personally know, but have heard it said that it is at least possible in Winchester's Model 21......where the friction part of the hinge pin is actually a bushing that sleeves over an inner transverse pin.
One might get away with it for one partial rotation ??(assuming it doesn't shift with use)?? but the correct solution, I was told, would be to replace the worn bushing with one of slightly larger diameter. This was passed onto me some years ago by an employee of CSMC. I can't vouch for the accuracy of it......but have always been curious if it is true.
