Re: Takedown Pin - MSch. M1903


I've never had any trouble with pin fitment of my M1910, but have heard of this issue before.

Mine has been from Ceylon (where Grand dad bought it ca. 1930-31) to Singapore (ca. 1934-40), then Southern California, the Channel Islands (briefly in 1950s), back to So. Cal (sat 'taken down' in fitted case for three decades), to Santa Cruz (with me), Northern Arizona (where I reloaded for and used it), now the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.

I have read advice from others to store it assembled to avoid the pin alignment issue, but IIRC that was from people who live in very humid climates. I store it assembled in a silicon impregnated soft sleeve which, in turn, is in a canvas Boyt case.

Maybe it's a good thing I didn't have it in Florida.
