What's better and why?
1. One piece pin/screw
2. Two piece pin & screw
Thanks.

Any top builder out there have an opinion?
Are you referring to this? http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts...-prod4885.aspx
No screw necessary. I've never seen a two piece. Then again I'm not a "top builder."
Thanks, beginning to think I had the plague............
Changed out a bolt catch the other day. A "2 piece system" was installed. Consisted of a short pin (looked like drill rod) and a set screw to hold it in. Kind of baffled me at first, thought I had snapped a one-piece pin, but they were never connected. Couldn't find out any info on a 2 piece job, so thought I'd ask here.
Thanks.
That makes more sense. I see what they did but I've not seen it myself. I've only seen something like this.

I haven't been able to find any info about it, guess it's not indicative of a good build.
If it ain't broke don't fix it is my motto. The pin has worked fine for 50 + years. A bolt catch isn't something I go swapping and I've never had one fail even after 14,369 rounds through one Colt I have. I can't say I've ever seen what you describe. I know some of the .308 ARs have a screw but never heard of a pin and a screw.

Not many parts are "standard" when it comes to a .308 chambered AR
Proper Planing Prevents Piss Poor Performance.......
I understand that, just never heard of this "fix", especially in a new rifle. I can see it for a repair. Wonder if a properly sized pin will reduce the sloppy fit...............
