Rear sight hinge pin


Out of Ammo

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how to replace the rear sight hinge pin on a XDM 5.25? I know the pin has a dent in it and mine broke awhile back. I have gotten the pin from Springfield, but don't know how to replace it. I've punched out the old pin, but I'm having trouble with putting in the new one.

How did you get this back in? Mines being PITA too

Make a slave pin to retain the tiny pins and spring that lock into the hing pin.

+1 There's usually a spring that pushes into a groove in the pin. The pins usually break at the groove so the pieces fall out easily enough, but you can't get the new pin back in until you get a way to hold the internal spring back. Edited by bountyhunter
