I've just seen the vid and I concur. (But it was my idea first!)

What vid !, did you invent cocking lever pins as well

I would link to it, but I haven't invented links yet.

And yes!

Steve, 97 is the same as the 77 for that part

Thanks I'll order it now.old pin is already out as you've seen the photo.am i right in understanding that the pin needs to punched/splayed out after it's been inserted to make a tight fit?if so what kind of punch is needed as I've never seen one with a rounded end like what's seems to have punched the original.
Another question,how did that pin manage to get in such bad shape so quickly?I've hardly shot that rifle because it was so un-enjoyable.

It's a friction fit, no peening required.
I have multiple 77/97's a week through the workshop, I have never seen that before. I giess it's not beed properly hardened, or maybe even properly formed
