I was taking my buffer tube off and lost my retainer pin (shot out like a rocket). Where is a good place to buy one of these little guys? Its a small part I dont want to get ate alive on shipping so I may order a few other parts to make it worth my while.

Happened to me just the other night but it was the spring I lost.  Luckily we were in a small room and I was able to find the spring.  You should be able to google AR-15 parts and pick a site.  Shipping should only be about $5.

First, get the terminology right.....you're looking for an AR takedown pin detent.
Try Citizen's Armory.

Sounds like a buffer retainer to me considering he was taking off the buffer tube.

Yes we have one.

I dont need the takedown pin detent. I have that. Thats what holds the detent pin in which breaks the lower apart from the upper.
