[ARCHIVED THREAD] - AR50- Finding a replacement bolt stop screw?

Posted: 3/9/2015 1:08:29 AM EDT

The blasted bugger got away from me somewhere, and hours of fruitless searching have left me screwless.

My google-fu is apparently weakening, as I cannot find one of these anywhere, including Armalites site.

Anybody got a source on one?

Darren Prince makes (used to?) a knurled replacement for easy removal.
(He did the bipods for Armalite for awhile, I think they may be superseded by a newer model now)

I bet Armalite would probably just mail you one if you asked nice.

If you need one let me know, it's been awhile since I talked to Darin but I could probably get you one. Or I can put you in contact with him.

Thanks guys, I'll try the number first tomorrow. I also found a contact email addy for Prince, I appreciate the tip about the knurled screw.

Really appreciate it.

Can I get in to the party also? I didn't lose mine but I seem to always forget the Allen wrench when I need it. . I posted this same question here 2 years ago and was told to email Mr prince but he never responded. .

Email me at [email protected] and I will pass your info on to Darin. He's always busy, he opened his own gun store and is adding a indoor shooting range.

He's also the person that invented the bullet button for CA gun owners. His wife handles that side of the business as they now make atleast a dozen different BB's for other rifles.

So email me and I'll make sure that you get it, even if it has to come to me and I have to ship it to you.

You only need an allen wrench ONCE, to loosen it the first time...

After that just put it in with your fingers.
It doesn't need to be tight.

I've gone cross country with AR-50's and shot all over and they have never loosened up or fallen out.

And then it just comes back out with your fingers.

(If you still want the cool knurled knob just for having, sure get one, but you don't "need" it)

I was waiting for someone to comment about this - sounds like an advertisement on a bathroom wall - but actually is the phone number for one of the best AR-50 gunsmiths in the world and thee best in the FCSA membership.
