Gunsmithing TRG-42 Bolt Stop Pin Size?

[sinister]

I've busted the pin that holds the bolt stop on the right side of my TRG-42. Anyone know what size it is?

I don't want to spend $73 and postage for the stop, spring, and pin from Brownells (which is also currently out-of-stock).

Thanks.

That pin has a threaded end. You can order just the pin, from Brownell's I believe. Send a PM to zunrj5 on here. I'll try to have him come post. He broke his before.

Thank you, Justin -- I appreciate it.

I gotta watch that retard strength pulling the bolt back.

Sinister,

You and me both brother! I've snapped the same pin at least once on two different rifles. You can buy just the pin from Brownells here:

If the link doesn't work for you the item # is: 913-400-100

I hope this helps.

John, you are the HEAT, dude! Exactly what I need (without buying the $73 product).

I owe you one.
