Ok, I understand your point...( this gun is not for sale )..but in my view a "pin" is a pin ...and if in fact, if it is stronger than the original pin that was put in the gun in the early 80's... it sure doesn't diminish it much - if any.
Bottom line for me....is I'll continue to shoot the gun ( a lot )...and cosmetically, the finish remains intact externally so its original appearance, for me, remains intact which is all I wanted when it broke.
