Smith hinge pin fix
Years ago Brian Haack and I would line bore the hinge hole on the barrel lug. The press fit a modern steel insert. This insert was bored to the correct hinge screw. That hinge screw would be harden as not to wear out. The press in hinge insert, Was left a little long. That way we could slow remove metal off the insert to insure a tight fit in the receiver. After 25 years of use by my wife. The Smith carbine is sill tight and takes a little effort to open. My wife won a lot of individual medal and team medals with that carbine. Good luck.
