I just disassembled my Kimber for the first time and CAN'T get the &%$#@!! mainspring housing pin (the one that holds the housing in the frame) back in. Everything works perfectly, just can't get the thing in!! It goes in until just about 1/8" is still protruding. Looking from the other side of the frame, it looks like the pin isn't perfectly lined up with the frame hole, yet the housing is flush with the frame. Any suggestions? I think its been assembled correctly, just doesn't seem right to have to put that much pressure on the thing. I really don't want to force the thing.
I'm panicking. Its my first 1911, so I'm not an expert.
