Has anyone had luck with finding local sources for take down detents?

Local?  PK Firearms has them in stock last I looked, and they shipped about 9 hours after I placed my order.

You or a neighbor likely have a nail laying around your house somewhere that is the same size as a detent.  If you have a dremel tool, that nail equals 3 or 4 takedown pin detents for free.  It's just a piece of metal, I have made a few after losing them and they work fine and prevent paying shipping charges for such a small cheap item

I have several extra in my tool box.  I've launched quite a few of them and lost them all.
  Great idea on just cutting off a finishing nail.

I launched one today.  I was thinking that one of the box stores (lowes or home depot) might have something that would work in their small parts section.
