Can someone (please  ) provide the correct size for the gas tube roll pin!TIA, Mike |

Neither Lowes or the local hardware store had it. 1/8" is the smallest Lowes carries and the local store only had down to 3/32" It looks like 5/64" and 1/16" pins are commonly used on the AR-15 in places that may require replacement roll pins. Am I right? If so I can just order a batch from McMaster and still save over buying official genuine US Mil-Spec Super Double Secret Squirrel roll pins. |
Buy a box of 100 gas tube roll pins, take 20 for yourself, then sell the others in groups of 10-15 for $5 shipped. |

BradH I ordered some new gas key screws from Brownells to measure. I came up with a 8-32 scocket head cap screw 1/4 inch that uses a 9/64 hex key. MSC has a part number 05507025 that matches. I just ordered some. I'll double check that they match when they come in. Stay safe and keep your powder dry. BigHitter |
