Some are staked, some are just a tight fit. On my present bullseye gun, the
hammer strut pin is loose enough to fall out if I disassemble it. Doesn't
seem to matter much, as the frame will hold it in place when assembled. If
you want to, pinch one end of the pin VERY slightly is a pair of pliers to
make it a tighter fit. VERY, VERY slightly. Not critical. If the pin is
a slip fit, it will self-center. If it's tight, then that becomes your job.

Subject: [BULLSEYESHOOTERS] Hammer strut pin


Hello all,
I have a Kimber Custom that shoots very well except for a creepy
trigger, I want to put a Chip McCormick hammer, strut and sear in
it.
I need help in understanding how I install the strut in the hammer.
Jerry Kuhnhausen's book indicates the pin must be staked. The photo
in the book doesn't help me much. I thought staking involved a prick-
type punch in the center of both sides of the pin to upset the pin
end which would increase the diameter of the pin such that it
wouldn't move laterally in the hammer hole.
I would greatly appreciate help with this,
Art
