I see from previous posts that people have tried Walther PPK trigger guard hinge pins, but have not read if they work. Can anyone tell me if they work ?


Thanks Zoobie

if you can't make or fine one use a roll pin

I have tried 3/32 roll pins and they work out after ten rounds , a 1/8 pin guage fits , but I can't get a 1/8 roll pin in. That is why I was wondering if a PPK hinge pin would work . My original pin was broken when I bought the gun.

try a metric roll pin

NORM

It's probably metric.
3/32 = 2.38mm
1/8 = 3.17mm

Try finding a 3mm rollpin. If they make half sizes, try to find a 2.5mm. I am positive they make them, Google searched showed some results.

I just see Norm beat me to it. Oh well, FWIW. I spent too much time converting the fraction to mm's.

or you can get a nail almost the same dia. , chuck in a drill , turn a v notch in with a file cut it to length, heat up till cherry red drop in oil

Thanks for the suggestions on metric roll pins and the nail. I will try to find metric roll pins ( probably in Brownells since I need some other stuff) , and if that doesn't work I will try the nail solution .
Again thanks to everyone for your suggestions !
