Ok, I picked up a Forward Assist to complete an upper build and realized that the retaining pin was not included. The supply store is closed on Mondays. Does anyone know the size of the pin so that I can go to the local hardware store and maybe score one there? I tried search functions and could not find any info.

It's a 3/32 roll pin but I am not geeky enough to know its length off the top of my head. If I were to guess I would say 5/8" long or so.

I'm sure someone will be able to give you a definitive answer, but in the mean time..

I’ve had to buy a couple of them from an Ace hardware before. They will be a little long so you will need to cut some off and use some touchup blue.
