    Default HELP! lost a pin!

    Last Sunday I was spending some times with the kids (the collection) like all good families should. So I'm in the process of doing a stock change on my XM15 and stupied me I didn't keep my finger on the buffer retention pin tight enough. PING!!! goes the pin and the spring as the bounce off into who knows. I found the spring, but lost the retention pin. Does anybody know where I can get one, order one, etc. Local would be awesome, but I don't have a problem ordering. Don't feel right with an AR out of commission right now!

    Make one. It's a pretty simple part. I know I could modify the metal tip from something along the lines of a mechanical pencil to carry me over 'till I got the actual part.

    I would bet the guys at King shooter supply in king of prussia can get you one. They can get just about anything. There is a chance the guys at target master in chads ford have one in stock, but those guys are jerks.

    You can find them zillions of places, the ones posted are just fine.

    On a side note, I seem to have lost the firing pin for a submachinegun upper receiver I borrowed from Stack. Talk about embarrassment.
