So I order the last two pieces I need to complete my first ever build.  A gas block front site tower from YHM and a carbine gas tube from Brownells.  They both arrived today and I think I'm all set to start wrenchin'!  WRONG!  Neither included a gas tube pin.  C'mon, is that really too much to ask for?
OK, so what size pin do I need and can I get it at the local Home Depot or am I stuck waiting another week (not to mention having to pay probably $8 S&H) for a $0.08 pin?
Thanks.
