New IMI 386 roll pin won’t pass ejector

[Slippery Pete]

Happy to be back on here. Sold my old 386 years ago against my will and just got another 386 barreled action from Ohio ordinance. It’s 90% plus condition per his description and I’d agree.

I picked up a bolt and remaining parts. The bolt won’t go past the ejector either direction, contacting the roll pin that retains the firing pin.

1. Is this a fittment issue where relieving material is the move? I’m hesitant to mess with the extractor it’s still mostly black. Roll pins are Pennies of course.

2. Wrong bolt somehow? Got the bolt with other Galil parts from a parts seller on GB. His other parts are as described and nice. It looks like a Galil bolt to me.

That’s about all I can come up with.

Anyone familiar with this?

Can you shorten the roll pin for clearance? Pics?

I’ll get pics up soon, traveling.

It’s not length of the roll pin it’s the width in the channel the ejector passes through.

I got impatient and dremeled the roll pin waaay down. It slides fine now back and forth but that can’t be the right answer. I took it down pretty far.

Here’s some pics. I dremeled that roll pin all the way flush and the bolt slides like it should. I’ll need another pin though.

The pic with the carrier is about where the bolt would stop from the roll pin contacting the ejector. That would also happen when the bolt was inserted ahead of the ejector and moved backwards.

I spoke to Hillbilly who suggested I find a bolt with an 05 stamp that matches the 05 on my receiver. Not sure how to pull this off. Apex won’t look through em and I don’t see any on GB or elsewhere.

If I was to find an 05 bolt would that just fit right? Is it the free floating firing pin bolt I need? That’s the only other kind of bolt I am seeing. I’m ignorant in this regard though.

You can see the roll pin was taken down so the middle is exposed. That's flush. So it was sticking out a good ways into the channel. Best I can tell the pin is the correct tapered pin for the bolt.
