I lost the lower pin to my Ballistic Advantage barrel gas block.
What size is it? Where can I find a replacement. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Memory loss sucks ETA I found them |

Was it a roll pin or a taper pin?
You should be able to tell if the holes on both sides are the same size then it would be a roll pin. https://blackrivertactical.com/WP/BRT-Gas-Block-Pins-3-pcs-p45819588 |

For future reference, there are machinist references online for matching spring/coil pin sizes with hole sizes.

Thinking he bought one of those BA barrels that has a pre drilled and roll pin gas block, he removed the roll pin to get gas block off to put on barrel nut and lost the single roll pin.
I once tried to source a similar pin from McMaster but could never match it up as it was an odd size. I might still have mine somewhere, I will look tonight. |

Well? What size was it so the rest of us will know? I don't feel like taking off the hand guard to measure the one on a my .625 Hanson barrel.
