Ha ha I didn't know they were domed
Yep now knowing they are domed and putting them in correctly pretty much solved my problem thank you all for the help!!!
Also, oversizing the pivot hole to 5/64 gives you some room to work when using collars and 1/16 pins.
I have pinned many with a popcicle stick or half a clothespin from the middle of the scales against the spine on an open blade, Shoving it over as I peen.
Big key is bolting things up and looking at tedancies. Snugging things up tight before peening seems required for me (Tape!). Wedge end first!
Too long a pin will mess-up the day!
