Hinge Pin

[Gary Cain]

Why are some hinge pins slotted on the left side and than like mine there is no slot?

Gary,Early hinge pins were made one piece. Later guns had a two piece hinge pin hence the slotted screw. Properly installed the screw end is on the left side with the muzzle pointed in the shooting position.

Later on, the non-slotted pin re-appeared on the Trojan.
