So I had the bolt head retaining pin break on my 111. I was advised on here to get the smaller firing pin and the matching retaining pin instead and it would be more durable. Well I got the parts in and now the pin that goes just in front of the handle wont go back into place. The sleeve that goes between the firing pin and the screw at the back of the bolt cannot line up on the new pin. Do I need a new one of those too? there are 4 teeth on the sleeve and 4 notches on the new pin. The old pin will line right up and let the mushroom-looking pin go right into place, but this one I have now the teeth dont line up quite right and the mushroom-looking pin wont fall into place unless I turn the sleeve a bit and take the teeth out of alignment and that wont let the screw at the back of the bolt go back in at all. Any suggestions?
