I have a Ruger #1 with a trigger issue. The issue is that the pin in the trigger link keeps falling out. What I need to know is how can I safely secure it to prevent this problem. As it stands I have lost faith in this rifle and want to sell it. How ever I want to fix the trigger first so some one else does not get my problem.

Try n fine a smith that's Specializes on your Ruger#1, good luck n sorry for your trigger problem .
I had 2 thoughts that might work. One was to loctite the ends of the little pin. Then I thought the Loctite may leak through and cause trouble. My second thought was maybe I could soldier the ends of the pin in place. Not sure though if it would hold in place.

What if you were to pen the end of that pin ever so slightly. Enough so you have to tap it into place.
RL26 I am in Alberta Canada and not so sure about the rules on shipping firearms across the border. ShtrRdy I too have thought about peenig the end of the pin but it is hard to get at. The other issue is the strength of the parts involved they are all just flat metal. The one end of the pin is bigger but apparently when tapped in can shake loose. I made a slightly longer pin this time. My other thought is to put a 6-48 screw through it and a nut on the end and loctite it. This will require drilling the current holes a little larger but not a lot. If I do this will a screw be as strong as the pin?

Ruger hasn't been good about supplying any parts lately.
Care to narrow it down?
I know Canadians used to come for shoots etc., not sure about shipping.

Not sure what you mean by narrow it down. I guess what I mean is that the smith may not be able to ship back to me as easily as I could ship to him. As private individuals we can not even buy scope rings from the States now.
