Is it an AR15? I wonder if any same sized cotter pin will work. After all, the lil' thing does not do anything except keep the firing pin from going too far back.

someone here told me that it wouldnt work(hardware store replacement) i really wanted to break in the barrel this weekend so i went and got one anyway. the guy was right, the real pin is flat on top. all the ones i saw are round and would scrape on the inside of the reciever. did i mention im pissed?

If you live near St. Louis, email me - I will lend you a retainer pin, plus show you how to maintain your bolt + carrier assembly.

I can't see any reason not to use a hardware store cotter pin for the weekend. You'll have to flatten the eye of it a bit for clearance.

Quoted: I can't see any reason not to use a hardware store cotter pin for the weekend. You'll have to flatten the eye of it a bit for clearance. Lessons learned: Buy yourself a field repair kit at first opportunity. The correct pin is hardened. I don't think a regular pin would last to long and probably would cause some problems if it failed. You can do what you want but I would wait for the correct part. I bought 10 at a gun show just to have as extra's for this kind of problem.[uzi] |
