Great job! Ive been wanting to try this for a long time but have always chickened out.

I definitely agree that victorinox is missing a trick here not offering this as a factory model.

Are the pins you used nickel silver or solid brass?

Is that a hand drill in the second photo? How did you find removing the stock pins without a drill press?

 :salute:

Have you got a Dremel or something similar? You can use a diamond ball bit to remove the pin head easily enough and then just punch out the remainder of the pin out.

I think it depends, I tried the small 2mm ball dremel method, and was having serious run out issue.  I actually prefer drill hole, dremel then punch out.

Then that's a huge achievement! Working right the first time with an afternoon build...nothing smurfed up on disassembly...or needing to re-do... :hatsoff:

Somehow, I thought you've been doing this for years and this was maybe your first 93mm.  :think:

Even later to this party than Fuzzbucket :cheers:

Great job Mechy :tu:

I've always held off on peening 93mm SAKs because I have the lathe handy, but it's good to know it can be done with a lot of skill and patience.

Cheers!
