I figure that I am not alone in my dislike for alignment pins that walkout over time. I hate suddenly seeing fins on bullets and knowing that I have several more that don’t have fins but that are oversized.
My MP 200 swc is the worst. I fought it for long enough and decided they would walk no more.
I used a file to verify that the pins are not hardened. That made it easier.
A little measuring to see where to drill and then into the mill vise. A couple of 1/2” deep or so 1/8” holes and a couple of short chunks of 1/8” music wire.
Peen the brass over the ends of the pins so they don’t walk out either!
