    These are worth every penny. I have not broken a standard FP retaining Pin personally, but I have replaced enough broken ones in other people's bolt carriers to know that the KNS is cheap, nigh-unbreakable insurance against a tied-up bolt carrier. I have them in all my carbines.

    Also, you will never struggle to bend (without tools) the two ends of a standard pin back into shape just that last tiny bit, enough to slide back in again easily. That alone, for me, was worth $9 or so.

    ONG,

    I believe they are right around the $8 mark.

    I replace the standard pin when I rebuild the bolt at 3k and again when I replace the bolt itself on a fighting gun at 5k.

    Nope. The search function isn't the most user friendly. I usually end up thumbing through the catalog to find what I need and enter item numbers in the search box to add items to my cart.

    not to start a shit-storm from fan-boys,,but,,, i have two daniel defense uppers---- you EVER pull the retainer on one of them bad-boys---you'd best have a replacement pin to get it back up. the first i wondered what i did wrong--- the second i thought i was seeing a pattern here.. i figured they got them from some little brown guys in mud huts,,,, replaced them with B//M's that would go right back in, have since re-ordered some more to have on hand from G&R. the bottom line to me is that if you get a D.D. fifle [or upper],,, get some spare firing pin retaining pins. mud-hut shit from the factory.
