| I dropped my lower on my stairs (concrete) leading into my garage. The rear takedown pin broke and the takedown detent pin broke (easily replaced). But, it also looks like a small piece of aluminum was broken on the lower (inside the takedown pin hole). How will this affect the weapon (not the replaceable pins)? |

Sounds like when you broke the take-down/detent pin, you may have cracked the detent channel. If you chunked a bit enough pieces out of it, the detent pin will come out with the takedown pin if pulled hard enough. If all else fails, you can make a longer takedown detent pin, and shorten the detent spring. With the longer retaining pin, the detent should stay in the channel and not be pulled/leveraged out. |
