Can/Will anyone tell me the trick to removing the Mag. release on a EAA-Witness?

Also if I remove a roll pin (ex. Extractor) can I re-use it or does it need to be replaced with a new one?

  I have a Springfield model 940E .410 single shot shotgun. The gun still shoots & functions OK. But the hammer is loose. Except when cocked. When not cocked, you can move it back & forth, and side to side in the channel.
  Before I attempt to disassemble, wondering if anyone has any experience with these? My guess is that the either the hole thru the hammer that the pin fits thru is worn. Or the pin itself. Are these tricky or easy to work on /fix? IE: Should I try myself or pay gunsmith?

  IF you remove the roll pin carefully using a roll pin punch you can probably reuse it. It's best to replace them.

  Do you know how to get the trigger-plunger assembly out? If so, thenon the right side of the release is another hole---Inside that hole is another spring and plunger which will escape when you pull the trigger-plunger assembly straight up and out---unless you cover the hole first. Once you have removed the trigger-bar plunger, push out the mag release to the left. 3 hands--a bucket of patience--no distractions--and a wide vocabulary. GOOD LUCK!! Lanny
