I don't think there's an end plate, I think the hole for the takedown pin detent is threaded, and a small set screw is put in to hold everything in place.

There is no end plate (at least on most of them... I did find one picture that looked like it could have -possibly- had a thin sheet metal end plate).
There is a small roll pin installed across the hole for the detent and spring. Pic below: John Thomas  Attached File |

BINGO! John knows his 608's. As far as I can tell, it is the only one with this type of pinned setup.

Okay, now does the roll pin completely go through the entire width of the lower at that point? Does it stop once it reaches the "depression" in the back of the lower where the end plate's alignment tab goes? I assume it only goes into the "depression," to allow the roll pin to be driven out to make any needed repairs.

Take a look at John's picture. The lower gets drilled through the side of the spring and pin channel. The roll pin only has to make it into the side of the channel to stop the spring from sliding back out. Once it is in there, it is pretty much in there for good.

Thanks John, now it is my turn to ask. I had always assumed that you drill through the outer receiver and then inserted a roll pin long enough to bottom out against the back wall of the receiver. Are you saying that the pin does not need to be that long?

The pin is .250" long. If you take a look at the rear face of a lower receiver, you'll see exactly how it works. When you want to remove the pin, you drive it in deeper and that circular cutout in the back of the receiver "catches" the roll pin and you can then dump it right out. JT |

Going to ask for more pin detail. .250 long, how big of a diameter? How far in from the end is it drilled?
