ROA Base Pin Retaining Pin Assembly

[Boston Bill]

Hi All,

I purchased a used ROA ( s/s ) today. Looks like it has never been shot. I did find a problem tho.

The Base Pin Retaining Pin Assembly spins in place. You can see the detent ball sticking out the left side.

Can anyone direct me ( with a link ) to a disassembly video?

Or if someone knows how to reinstall it maybe send the instructions?

Came with a box of Hornady round balls. Opened it up to take a peek. Found the nipple wrench on top of the balls. yay!

That’s the way she’s supposed to be. Take the base pin out and study how it captures the pin proper. You’ll see how it works much better.
