It is common with the Mk1 rifles, and the Brit forums are full of workarounds and fixes for the condition. They vary from re staking the...

I can use the front hole to keep the spring compressed and the ball will stay out of the way so I can restake the end with a narrow...

If its 3mm a 1/8" drill bit won't fit in the port. If it fits in there, it's 4mm. Its important to know what you have
