acually it does, on a really nice gun. I have had luck with lapping the hinge in, with a properly sized lap,made the same size as the replacement pin.
The people that think this is a complicated method,should either go to a good machinist school(where they teach how to cut things to the 100 thousanths) or take it to someone who does.Personally, it does not take me anytime at all to make the part. I generally make 2 or three while I am at it for that make of gun, and have some oversized one on stock for the time someone comes in with a gun of that make. To take the gun in the back, have him wait while I remove the old pin and install a new one, and hand him back a perfect gun in an hour or so, has gotten me many friends.So far everyone has been happy, and that is many people, as I ran a shop for many years. Now getting them to freely pay for the work is something else! They want to turn a worn gun into a new one, for almost nothing. That is why I just do work for a few people now. I got tired of the cheapskates and the farmers.
