Wow, well that sure sucks!
I will have to take my rifle apart when I get them back tomorrow night (they are at my friends house at the moment, just got back from vacation) and take a look to be sure but I am 90% sure that that pin on my rifles is peened on the opposite side so it is pretty much press fit.
I would assume either your pin is undersized or not peened.
If I am remembering it correctly the peen is just a dent in the center of the pin on the right side. I would probably do it with an automatic center punch.
Let me know if you want help.
