Just launched the Ejection Port Cover Pin Snap Ring across the room putting together a stripped upper receiver. Any place local that may have this tiny little part?
Also how the hell am I suppose to hold this snap ring and get it around the pin? . . . I didn't realize my vision was starting to go until I was trying to handle this little part.

I hold the snap ring in place with a tiny set of needle nose pliers and give it a swift whack with a non-marring hammer.  YMMV
