cylinder pin play.

I just purchased a 20 year old naa .22 mag. Everything is great on this gun. Except the cylinder pin has some play in it. With the cylinder installed the pin will slide in and out 1/16-1/8" this may be normal. The I just wonder if this is ok?

Last time I had this issue, I called NAA and they sent me a new cylinder pin free with me awesome customer discount.

Seriously, the pins just swap out. That's probably all it is, but it's fixable if not.

I had a mini like you're talking about once where I manually held the cylinder pin in place to fire. If it slid forward, it could tie up the revolver. It ended up back with NAA and back to me better than ever.

Not the end of the world.

Yes I would call. I've had nothing but great service from them.....

Well that was my question. I hate to ask them cause it doesnt lock up the gun. But at the same time, it might one day. Will give them a call tomorrow, or send an email.

Buffalo - if the pin has that much play, I think that there is a real good chance the detent ball will jump out of the detent hole when the gun is fired, releasing the pin. Based on what I have read, occasionally even a new gun will have a defective spring that allows that. Yours sounds like it may just be worn out.
