My original retainer slipped out of the hole far enough to get bent while firing. It was one of the solid pins with the split tip.
I ordered a replacement from CMMG, and all they had was the cotter pin type. I put one (I bought 4) in this afternoon, and it doesn't look like it is long enough. Also, the head of it protrudes slightly from the recess in the bolt body. I do not know what is "normal" for this part... so I thought I'd ask the experts... Here are pics of the tip of the pin, and the protruding head, and a pic of one of the whole pins. This just doesn't look right to me... help?    |

Quote HistoryQuoted: See if that works for you.... pictures work for me. i ordered some AR-10 specific FP retainers, what I got shipped was AR-15 parts. I guess some vendors don't know there's a difference. disappointing. never buying from them again. |

Sure looks like the CMMG replacements, are AR15 FP retainers.
