The pin passes through a solid bridge. The barrel lug actually butts up against the bridge to enhance the lock-up. Is the pin an afterthought for adding strength?

Default Pin in Lifter Frame

The pin doesn't seem to have afunction in the finished gun. My guess is that it was drilled in the soft fitted frame, and used to align the frame after hardening.

Best, Austin

I just reassembled the locks, and noted a spot on the mainsprings where the pin butts right up to the spring. I can't imagine that there is a lot of room for the springs to pop out of place. Hmmm....That is an interesting theory, Austin. I wonder if anyone else has this pin in their lifter gun.
