I have fixed loose pins in guns before, have peened them to keep them in. But this looks different.....how can i fix this? It got almost halfway out before i noticed, then had to stop and coerce it back in....But it will come out......

spring and hing pin detent pin

if it slipping out it needs to be cleaned, to take it apart , place in a vise like this, do let the vise touch barrel in vise,

slowly tighten the vise till you can push the pin out with nail or punch , do not hammer it out, it should just push out ,once the tension is off it, pull the spring out and clean, put back in reverse
