    Charlie, Once you have the pin into the sight and it is in the track of the key, then tap the sight down hard enough to lock the pin in the track and the sight. The pin should not move once it's locked in.

    Bruce,
    I better wait, If I hit anything with a hammer today, it will surely be tooo hard.
    Last time this happened to this same carbine, I installed a new lead key and remember having a heck of a time driving in the pin.
    Spent the rest of the day with it stripped down and detail cleaned.
    Gotta say it was really nice to get out and run 300rds this morning.
    And no snow!!! so it was easy to find my brass.

    Appreciate the help guys. Calmed me down more than anything.
    Best bunch of people to be found on any forum IMHO,

    Best Regards,
    Charlie-Painter777
