    I replaced all the standard firing pin retaining pins in my rifles with the KNS perma pins after experiencing a major malfunction due to a broken cotter type retaining pin. The pin broke and the small broken end worked its way out and bound my bolt carrier in the upper receiver of my LWRC M6A2.

    They use a standard pin you just need to push down and have it sideways when putting in and then rotate vertical after its in.

    Same here, my guns eat rings like nothing else, but Ive never had to replace a cotter pin for anything other than dropping it somewhere and not being able to find it again.
