1911 barrel link question
Hey all,
I've got a question re: a 1911 barrel link- any advice would be much appreciated.
So I was cleaning my 1911, and the pin holding the swinging link to the barrel managed to work its' way out, and I can't seem to find the damned thing. My question is whether those pins are a standard size, or does it differ by manufacturer?
Bonus fun: the 1911 in question is a Dan Wesson patriot, which is apparently no longer made since CZ-USA bought the company.VMJade
Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Re: 1911 barrel link question
Generally they are of a "standard" size, but small variances can occur between manufacturers. Note though, there are oversized link pins but they will be advertised as such.
Link pins are cheap, just buy one from a 1911 parts manufacturer and try it. if it doesn't fit, use a mic or caliper to measure the unit that you purchased and then repurchase with the measurement in hand.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515, SteveWag

Re: 1911 barrel link question
You can find link pins through most gun parts places, Brownells (and you get a discount if you go there through the PaFOA site), MidwayUSA, egunparts (Numrich) and others. If you have a good set of calipers or an inside micrometer (or an outside mic and an expanding ball tool to measure small holes) you can get the exact size you need.
