    True. Which I had done for a while at some point over the years. Didn't like it for some reason that I've since forgotten.
    There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

    What brand and did you contact the manufacturer? I’m sure they’ll take care of the issue.

    The issue is taken care of, for $9.99. The carbine is a Spike's Tactical, which I bought from an acquaintance in 2008.

    The $9.99 cure: https://kakindustry.com/ar15-offset-...-retainer-pin/

    I posted this thinking the information might be of help to someone having this reportedly common issue.
