www.biggerhammer.net/ar15/pins.html Edit: Oh yeah, I use a 3/32" flat pin punch to remove the roll pin, and a 1/8" ROLL PIN punch to reinstall it. |

Probably just about anywhere--Lowe's, etc. I ordered mine online, but wasn't in too big a hurry for them: doityourself.com Dasco 5 1/2" X 3/32" pin punch -- #6472732 -- $3.89 www1.mscdirect.com/cgi/nnsrhm Proto 4 1/4" X 1/8" Tip Super-Duty Roll Pin Punch -- #J49018 -- $5.43 |

i just went down to Ace and got the 3/32" pin punch for $5.34 and it worked taking out and putting the pin back in. however, i found out that the spring wasnt the problem...the actual problem is that the roll pin is bent...so i guess i'll wait for the next gun show and see if i can find a roll pin. if not, i guess it's up to Del-Ton...thanks a bunch, M4Madness!
