Quoted:
what did you give it the wolf stare or what? those things arent spring loaded so it cant have gone far. you'd think..but there are lots of places to hide in the shop.. I was holding it with needle nose, pressing with taped vise grips when it just popped out of the pliers... 
I decided to build one as a personal challenge, have been putting together 1911's for several years, some minor smithing and can assemble and disasemble blindfolded short of the main springs, and could probably do that by feel if pushed...so,,needed to conquer a new gun...  gun won
thanks guys...3/32' looks right, the build in a box idea is grand and I am putting together a small parts order with rock river... |

i got a new roll pin for one that got damaged by a ham-handed install attempt at Tractor Supply.....come to think of it, I also found 1/16" roll pins that I used for pinned 1911 front sights there too.
I like Tractor Supply.....every time I need something odd, they usually have it. Oh––-and +1 to the roll pin starter punches. |

.........and I am putting together a small parts order with rock river... Yeah , you'll be glad you did .
I got tired of launching detents across the room into black holes ( I did find ONE when we moved though) so the last time I was at Me Mil Supply , I stocked up on all the small parts as spares . And another vote for roll-pin punches. |
