hey pardner

i use a 1/16 in. punch. works for me. if you have an old milsurp you might want to place a drop of penetrating oil on the pin first and let it set for a hour or so. i was taught to remove all pins left to right and replace right to left.

how does your thompson shoot? i bought the pit bull slide and customized a caspian frame, all the goodies i could find and it was my carry gun when i was working. it shoots like a dream. i've heard the regular thompsons are or were at the time nothing to sneeze at. good shooters and malfunction free. when ya really need one they worked. you don't need a hiccup when a life is on the line.
