slugshooter Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I was wondering if there was an easy way when reassembling your 1911 to get the plunger pin in when you are trying to get it back together. It seems there would be an easier way, I find mysef using a knife edge to push it in and doing everything quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Re: Plunger pin on 1911\'s I bought a Marvel Safety Detent Depressor when I started working on 1911 guns. It works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Plunger pin on 1911\'s Take the handle end of a old toothbrush and grind it flat then file in a small indentation to engage the pin. This works well and is cheap. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ftw46 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: Plunger pin on 1911\'s I use an old credit card. It will not make a scratch mark. The real tool would probably be best but I had never seen one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Re: Plunger pin on 1911\'s Thanks for the info, I don't know why I didn't think of using an old card, probably cause I was so irritated with trying to get the gun back together I wasn't thinking straight.
