Recently lost buffer retaining pin and spring. Bought a new one and it does not fit. The pin it too big. Spring fits in fine. I thought these were universal. It there a smaller size I can get? It is in my collapsing stock from Law Tactical.
Any ideas?

Too big how? Too big around to fit down in the hole? Too tall?

Did you back out the buffer tube a turn or two to allow the pin to fit down into the hole?

It's too wide to even fit in the hole at all. Height is not the issue.

The one that was in there before looked nothing like the new one. I think the guy I bought the gun from rigged it somehow.

Check with Law Tactical to see if it is proprietary.

That is not a Law Tactical folder, it is a ChiCom knock-off, I'm betting that is your problem.

I’m not saying it’s not, but how can you tell that from that pic??

The hinge configuration is different, there is no pat #, "Made is USA" or "Close before firing" warning.

Compare it with this photo you posted...

That is the newest gen, 3-M. I didn’t know if older versions were different or not.
When you zoom in you can vaguely tell that there are some things written there. Obviously knock-offs do the same thing though.
I just couldn’t conclusively say myself that it was a fake just based on the pic.

I took some closer pictures and sent it to them and they will let me know if it's real or not.
The do not fire and close before firing is on it however. but apparently the guy said the Chinese knockoffs have it as well.

But it is not painted like LAW, but moreover it is the hinge that is completely different. I'd bet that one from Blackguns I linked above is what you have.

Thanks for the help.
