Out of Ammo Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 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.

Loves2Shoot Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Make a slave pin to retain the tiny pins and spring that lock into the hing pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) 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.
