Title: Anywhere to buy single roll pins locally?
Post by: mykdebauch on February 23, 2014, 11:36:00 PM: bolt catch roll pin broke during install, it's like halfway in. it's engaging the catch but i definitely want to replace it, it has super sharp edges where it broke. anyone have any experience with this? maybe i can cut it down and just complete the install? the pin split about 2mm from the end. where can i buy just the bolt catch roll pin locally? hardware store?

All City Mills should have a section with bins of hardware bolts, nuts and pins.

X-Ring might be out of your way but it is well worth the drive, they are a good bunch of folks out there.

Post by: mykdebauch on February 25, 2014, 01:58:51 PM: bought 5 pins from city mill today. they were labeled 'tension pins' not roll pins. they only had 1/2" x 3/32" which is actually about 0.04" too long, but at .17 cents a pin it's totally worth.
