While working on my Crown, the side lever pivot pin just fell out.
How was it supposed to be retained in the linkage? It doesn't appear to be staked.

I haven't put it back together yet and it may just be a press fit to the yoke, have to try it later.
Just wondered if this is a chronic problem.

On of the pins on one of my Streamlines came out, in a manner that sounds similar to what you described. I staked the bottom hole to create a tighter fit, cleaned the bores to remove oil, and used Blue Loctite to help to retain the pin. So far, so good.

I haven't had a Crown to hand, but same maker, same vintage, so maybe?

If it’s this pin then yeah they were a problem.

I believe it's listed on FX diagrams as"2,5m6x6" The same for Crown, Bobcat, Boss, Royale.

Thanks, I will measure my Streamline pins, for future reference... it's more like 2.5 mm x 6.6 mm. I would need to drive out the pin to be most accurate.

I just checked the parts diagram, which shows 2.5 mm x 2.6 mm. Am I correct that the pin that you referenced is "2.5 mm diameter and 6.6 mm long?

FX Part Number: 19026 is what my diagram shows. **Edit: Incorrectly posted 10919. Thanks, Gerry!

I understand that Europeans often use a comma where we use a period to denote the decimal place.

Wow, the shadows make that hole look really wild. The bore is the same, all the way around, but the light gives the impression that it is not.

The bottom has been staked by a push-type center punch to reduce the hole.

A member of one of the Canadian groups offered me a .22 Crown a couple of years ago. One of the dumbest things I have done was to put off buying it until too late.

That would be my guess too. 2.5x6.6(length). I've never had a problem with the lever pins on my guns being loose but a while back, after reading about others losing the pin, I put a small drop of blue Loktite on the bottom hole just to be sure. BE AWARE, the Streamline part # is 19026, NOT 19029! (Exactly the same for my guns)
