Greetings. Does anyone on the fourm do fine metalwork? I have a broken pin for a Ruger that needs o be replaced. I called Ruger, they don't have or make them anymore. I've checked all the gunsmith supply companies for the extra parts and have struck out. Now I need it replaced.

Anyone able to do a small pin? I can send the broken one.

Any ideas?

Go to a hardware store. I bet you will find something close in size. There usually isn't anything special about the roll pins used in guns versus the ones used for other mechanical devices.

Not a roll pin, I should be more specific. This is a solid pin that has a step down end, meaning one end is smaller. The whole thing can sit on a quarter.

If it's a roll pin as was said any decent hardware store should be able to help you out. If it's something odd post up a picture and measurements and post that up and maybe one of us might have what your looking for or know where to get one.

what model ruger ? found several odd shaped pins hereMy link

pm me a picture of the pin ,, if i can make it i will

My dad is a welder and he works with machinists, so if you want I can show it to him and see what he can do, if anything.

It is a pin for a Ruger PC4 Carbine. It goes through part of the trigger and holds the sear and a part for one of the safety features.

There are two different Ruger forums out there. Give them a shot. There are some knowledgeable folks on them.
