I've had an older Eagle Arms pre ban CAR-15 for 10 years or so, never thought of selling it but now I'm kinda forced to.
I dont know the value of the older pre ban rifles and dont know where to find the info?

Thats a great explanation !
A lot of people think there has to be a actual crimp in to the bullet.
I pulled these from a batch that a friend reloaded because there was a serious accuracy problem.
Didn't take long to figure it out !

chubbs the pin has a grove in, the slide release lever fits in the groove to keep the pin from coming out.
It might of not got in the groove or possible "but not likely" the slide release spring is broke?
To get in back in just go ahead and push it out then look at how the trigger and slide...
A single stage is a good way to start for the least $ and when you move to a progressive you will still always use the single, especially with all the rifle calibers you've listed.

I was lookin for a light pocket size 380 and the micro DE was a little heavy and as mentioned a heavy trigger. It's a straight blow back design so they made the slide heavy and used duel recoil springs.
Found a used LCP and quit shoppin for 380's.
