  • AR15 Hammer Pin/J Spring Issue

    Is there anything that can be done to correct a hammer J spring that's just a little bit too far inside the pin hole? I can't get any pin (I've tried 3) past the spring. I've tried the 3 pins in another hammer and they all work.

    You can use a taper/knifed pin to lead and chase it with the hammer pin to allow it slip through. Or, you just hit it harder. I've had a few stubborn bastards.

      I've got a spare hammer if you need it.

        I feel your pain, I thought I would never get the pin through. My thumb ached for hours from keeping it mashed down on the hammer so long.

        I use a just right sized punch to lead it through, followed by the pin. It works most of the time unless it is a really tight parts kit (PSA mostly)

          What's the markup?

          I appreciate it, but I had like 5 extra parts kits from PSA. This one came from Red X. I'll work on it a little more, and if I can't get it, just add a hammer to my next order.
