Hi Al, I don't know if this helps at all. Especially post #12?

Yes, the reference to the steel dowel is just for the '30, but guessing what is said about the ball and staking applies the same?
Thanks for this Tony, the rifle is on its way to its new owner who is aware of the issue .. might be fixable by putting in a wider latch pin for the ball to ride over, the ball spring doesn’t actually FEEL weak, it’s all very strange..
