2.5mm pin bending? That pin isn't even that long. Isn't it the same thickness as a farmer? Is must be during assembly. I see it is .6mm thicker.

I dont think its from the backsprings pressure. It would take significant force to bend a pin that short. BUT.. since its a new assembly for them, could the pins they are using be a hair too long and the peening of them forces it down and bends it? Just how bent are we talking? I only took apart the one I bought and I didnt specifically notice or look for anything different at the time.Snap a pic next time you take one apart.
Ah..... interesting.See I wouldnt see that issue on customs since the pivots are hardened steel and have zero flex in them. But nickel silver is much softer then steel.For sure take some pics when you can. As I moslty do 91mm Ti work now I haven't worked on the modern alox much at all.
Update. Out of the 5 I have taken apart, I found one that wasn't bent. I have to take apart soon and will update the thread with my findings including measurements.
I have heard from Mr Elsner and I am trying to help resolve this problem. This makes me happy that he has contacted me .
