I wonder if anybody knows where I can get one of the pins used in the folding stock mechanism. I was assembling it and didn't realize I needed 3, not 2 pins until I had already installed the 2 I had. If I have to I'll disassemble the mechanism again and mic one of the pins so I can make one from a drill bit. I sure would rather just get another pin. Any ideas where I can get one?

Problem solved, I went jungle style. I chucked a 1/8 in. drill bit upside down in the drill press chuck and turn it on. I held a file flat against and used a sawing motion to reduce the size of the drill shank. With trial and error I got a nice tight interference fit into the underfolder mechanism and tap tap tap until it showed up on the other side. Then I broke the drill bit off and dremelled it smooth. Boy howdy I have a functioning Yugo underfolder. Because I live in California I have a muzzle attachment in place (fake can) that makes it over 30 inches folded. Now to put the fire control group in.
