I have a vz-58 that I love to shoot, but have one small problem. I can't get the pin that holds on the lower handguard to stay. This is the pin in question:
Lower Handguard Pin...

I could get a new one and re-peen it in place, but there has got to be a better way. Does anyone know of a place I could get a truss head pin with e-clip maybe? Or maybe a small sex-bolt (Chicago Bolt) with mating screw that would fit? Does anyone else have a suggestion?

TIA,
