Larry
good to hear from you
yes the double ping
And the double wrist pin clips Boy I hate tring to get those out
the stock clip works fine if you rotate it once your sure its in place if it
wont spin its not in place
So you had a clip falure not the pin itself

hows life off the road have you adjusted and what are you doing with your
days?
 am I the only one that does not know?
