Thanks to all who responded to my posting. Finally got the gun back together but is still hard to rack. The gun has a new barrel and new springs and a new trigger. Being a used gun I guess I can't complain since Taurus fixed it all for no charge. Used guns are used guns for a reason. Will go to the range this week and see if it shoots properly.

I start the pin with the flat side down, on top of the spring. Then I rotate it upright and push it on through. You gotta have the barrel all the way forward or there will be trouble. Now how would I know that?

The take down pin should be placed on top of the spring, straight in. No twisting should be required.

Really. I've put the pin under the spring ever since I've owned them (PT140 & PT111). It must not make much of a difference as I've never had a problem with it. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
