WASR 10/63 issue..

[FullAssault]

I was shooting my 63m today and noticed something odd after about 200rds. The trigger felt odd and i looked at the rifle and the FCG pins had come out of one side. This gun is still some what new. I have had a PSL for years but never had any problems. Any idea what caused this and how to fix this issue? Thanks

Whatever kind of Shepard hook century used to lock the pins fell off. Buy a pin lock plate and and install and your good to go

E clips FTW

The hook was off, Thanks!

if you use e-clips, be sure to get the correct size.i usually order a box of them from GRANGER. i think there are 100 to a box. they are cheap.

be sure and get the thicker one,( most places like lowes or home depot carry the thin ones.) the thicker ones will stay in place and are easier to install. just measure the pin slot for size. i use a very long slim needle nose pliers to install mine and to remove them. i have never had one to come out unless i wanted it out.

i am out of them right now or i would give you the size or send you a couple. my safes are locked and i cannot get to them right now.
i have aurtherist and i have to find ways to do stuff the easy way now and this works for me.

How do you put these in? Thanks again for the help!

I have had an out of spec retaining pin that would not go all the way through the hole in the receiver. The notch could not engage the retainer spring. I replaced the bad pin. That was on a 10/63. Once the retaining pins are good to go, then one of these sure removes a lot of headache with assembling your fire control group:

This is easier to use and a better design than the eclips listed above in my experience.

The Chinese L wire retainer is the easiest to use and is the cheapest.
