Unless you are missing them, I can't imagine any other reason for replacing them besides wanting modern steel in the gun. Which I suppose there is nothing wrong with that. But I can say that the original floating pins are very berry and strong. I do not think very many of them break.

I am hoping the ones in the gun are actually nickel plated that's semi worn off etc . As the retaining screws in the knuckle are pretty buggered about the only way to get them out would be to drill them I think .

The ones in the gun just look to be aluminum . To be honest the back part where the hammer hits even looks a bit like old plastic . If my eyes deceive me and they are what they should be I have no problem with them or old replacements . Only reason I wanted drawings to make my own , was because I thought originals would be hard to find and didn't really assume anyone was making them .
