The issue is people are generally lazy about getting parts and having them on hand. They then start tinkering with their weapon and because they don't have new roll pins, they stick the old one right back in. We are talking about something that when purchased in bulk, costs mere cents. The side effect is that certain ones can deadline the weapon and stop it real quick.
Hey IG, I wonder if we could come up with a list of common standard roll pins for the AR and their designations and sticky it somewhere? I know I would rather buy a bag of 100 of each form McMaster-Carr or Fastenal and be done with it for life.
Does anyone in this thread have that in a chart or table?
