I need to buy a Firing pin retaining pin for a Bolt Carrier group.

The only problem is I really don't want to pay $8-$10 shipping and handling for a $1 part.

Anyone here willing to sell me one and ship it usps for $.32?

Thanks

Go to a gunshop or gun show near you. Any decent shop should have those in stock.

Just take your bolt & carrier with you to get a correct fit.

Doesn't Georgia Precision offer a reduced shipping rate on small parts?  You might look into that route.

I repeat, warning, do not substitute the firing pin retaining pin with some home depot cotter-pin look-a-like. The pin used in the bolt carrier is hardened tool steel and a substitute is likely to shear-off and ruin your day./

I have a spare.  I'll sell it to you for $10.00 and ship it for $0.33.

Just kidding.  Paypal me $2.00 and I'll mail it out on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday - don't think the PO is open).  IM me if you want it.

[size=3][red]DO NOT [/size=3][/red]replace the Firing pin retaining pin with a normal cotter pin. You won't be very happy with the out come of this idea to say the least. That retaining pin is hardened steel designed to take the punishment that it goes through.
