Gents,
Is there any good tricks to installing a new folding stock axle pin? I have a recent SL8 mod that was built without the rear stock (had a 243 folding stock on backorder for a few months) and I just got my new butt stock in, but I"m not sure if I"m just supposed to lightly tap the axle pin in from the top with a rubber mallet or if I need to slightly compress one end of the axle pin with pliers to create a bevel to get it started in the top hole. I just don't want to risk buggering up the receiver by tapping a pin in if there's more prep work to it. Maybe I'm over thinking this.
