I need a single Takedown Pin Retention Pin

Discuss work on firearms; whether that is making yours from the ground up, milling an 80%, putting together a kit, or fine tuning a trigger job.

Anyone in North/Central Phoenix have a single Takedown Pin Retention Pin?

Was swapping out buffer tube and of course I lost mine. Couldn’t find one online without a $10 shipping charge 🤦🏻‍♂️

Did you lose the spring as well? Guns etc has them but they're not close to you. I have the pin and spring but I'm in Chandler. I can drop in an envelope and mail to you if you can wait.
Regardless for future use tap the hole for a 4-40 set screw. The existing hole size is close enough as is to be tapped to a 4-40. Cut the spring length off to accommodate the length of the screw. See photo. You'll need a .050" socket key.

Caution tapping the hole, hard anodize is just that.

Pretty sure I have some laying around too. But, I'm South PHX.

A few places have them but I can’t justify spending $10 shipping on a $1 micro piece.

The only other thing I need/want is a Magpul CTR stock but no one has it in black 🤦🏻‍♂️

Most gun shops that offer "Armoring" services should have the part. Tombstone Tactical, Trip Wire Tactical, Scottsdale Gun Club...
