Bought a used rail, looks to be in excellent shape but the sear will not go in - the pin won't seat. Most of my other frames have a bit of a snap fit, but this one is tight. Any advice? There are no burrs or obvious problems with either part.

I have found there are 2 types of sear pins. The older style looks like a short black rod. The newer ones look like a chrome pill. The chrome pill type seems to fit in every rail I have ever tried, but the black rod type sometimes don't like to fit.
What type do you have?

I had exactly the same problem and the solution was exactly what Blennidae said.
AGD must have slightly changed the design of their rails and sear pins at some point, as my black pin from my '93 mag wouldn't fit in a newer standard rail. The newer silver pins fit fine in both old and new rails - they've got more of a taper to the ends of the pin.sigpic

makes sense, the sear came out of a beater partsmag that must have been fairly old. I'll check the others to see if one has the newer pin.
