[ARCHIVED THREAD] - HELP!!!!!! Lost the little take down pin

Posted: 7/28/2014 3:28:41 PM EDT

Got my build done but but the dog jumped on the bed where I was building my lower and scattered parts every where found everything except one of the little pins that goes in the pivot spring got the front pivot pin in but need one for the rear spring pivot pin,
my first ever build took me about an hour but everything works as it should, just cant finish the stock till I get a new pin.
Anyone got an extra they will sell or tell me where I can get just that pin?????

It's a good idea to order more then you need of the small parts. I've learned the hard way and lost range time because of it now I have a bunch of spare small parts.

I also did not heed the warnings and sproinged my detent into the carpet. Rare earth magnet couldn't find it. So I vacuumed with a small handheld. The catchcup is small so when I was done, put the magnet into all the dirt and it found the detent for me. After I had already ordered 2 spare parts kits. Now I have 8 detents, 8 detent springs, 4 buffer retainer pins/springs...:)
