GET IN YOUR BUBBLE!
atleast you lost something cheap... its not like you lost control of the barreled upper and launched it down the street never to be found again... think of it that way
Most LPKs I've received have an extra detent or two included.
But I pride myself on not having to go to ARFcom-esque measures to get a job done. Someone gave me the tool, but I could get it done without if I had to.

Hey, I got it in... after I found it... The rifle sits assembled minus the BCG, CH, and buttstock...

Whining in a forum that people have seen your thread, but not replied, reeks of an odd brand of desperation. - Me
Titling your thread "To XYZ or Not to XYZ" will cause me to completely ignore your thread.
These things happen,
I have a buffer retainer and spring that is still somewhere in orbit.
As a previous poster said, a clevis pin works great. I polished mine up, as they often have rough edges. Also put the end to a grinding wheel to obtain a nice flat perpendicular surface to butt against the taketown pin, so detent pin cannot hold up movement of takedown pin as it slides in.
Prefer to save money and be inventive. Also, no waiting for item to arrive.

I've always used a pivot pin installation tool, and all my installations (four so far) have been problem-free.
For future reference, Stag/CMT lower parts kits come with an extra detent "just in case."
