After shooting a hundred or so rounds through my MKII 22/45 yesterday, I began having problems with the second to last round feeding. Always and only the second to last round. Other than that, the gun fired great. That was, until I noticed the Sear Pivot Pin coming loose and hanging out the the right side of the pistol, completely unattached from the left side. I had to disassemble the pistol to get it to realign. I fired a few more dozen rounds through it and had to press the pin back in after so many shots.
I have to wonder first if this is what was causing the FTF's and secondly... how to keep it from coming back out?
This gun has had very many rounds put through it in its lifetime. The gun is so loose that, disassembly and reassembly is easily accomplished with no tools. I don't know if all 22/45s are like this, but my MKIII Standard is a pain in the sear to strip.
Have I just gotten all the life out of this gun, or what can I do to get the sear pivot pin to stay in?
Thanks in advance!
