Need help I want to tap out, or chase the thread in the plunger retaining pin screw hole. Does any member know what the tap size is? Its small. Almost forgot its a P64.

thanks KEN

love to help you , but don't what plunger retaining pin you are talking about , most pins are just that pin's there are no threads on them, if they had threads on the they would be screws

Norm, The plunger retaining pin screw part #7, that's the tap I need. Per Troy Harp's break down and reassembly of the P64. On left side of the pistol. I need a tap for that hole.

Norm, Thanks for giving it a shot. I'am going to dig deeper, I think I'll find it sooner or later. Heres my group I have so much fun working on, I've had them all down to the bare frame. Polished the areas that rub, working under a magnifying lite. As you can see I kinda like the P 64. Will post the tap size when I find it.
