| Okay I completely failed at this install. Bent the roll pin in half. Anyone have advice for this install and also a source of charging handle roll pins. Thanks much. |

Midway sells replacement roll pins.
As for how to do it, grow a third hand, find a friend to help, or learn to stick your tongue out *just* right while trying to get everything together. I've replaced latches before by myself, but it generally involves lots of cursing. |
| The trick is to hold the latch in and lined up with the hole. If you have a vise, it will make it easier, but it isn't required. I take the roll pin and insert it in the hole on the top of the handle. Then I take a small punch and line up the holes from the bottom. I then tap the pin in and the punch out at the same time. |
