Help with my Red Ryder modification.

I put the anchor in place, wrap something over the top of the receiver (usually a stack of 3 file cards) so the anchor ends up a little bit above, mark along the top of the cards, and cut/file down to the mark.

This may not help you, but I’ll post it just in case it’s useful to someone…The 102 anchor is very similar, but would need some minor profiling of the curved area along with sight removal. J.G. has about a thousand of them in stock. They are inexpensive, but they do have a $15. min. order.
Next time I place an order, I’m gonna’ get about a dozen.
Best I can figure, Daisy just used the no-sight anchor from the wide-body models on the Ryder (but the rivet on these sits lower than the slot on the wide models…they are a perfect fit on 95, 96, 99, etc.).
On the Ryders it kicks the spring up at a weird angle.

Not sure if I damaged the spring anchor. It appears fine.

My favorite compressor for the newer Red Ryder is one I made out of a piece of half inch galvanized pipe, not tubing. It is really strong and holds its strength when cut thin enough to make clearances.   If you would like a few pix, send me an email. My email is in my profile.

Hey gentleman I'm going to chime in here and let Shail know that it's happened to everybody I'm sure. When I build a gun before I caulk it when the stock is not installed I take flashlight and look down the back of the frame so that you can see that the pin as we're calling it is in front of the rivet. If it's not and you haven't caulked it yet it's no big deal it's once you caulk the thing that you end up damaging the top of the receiver and who knows what else.
