Trying to find a couple rollpins locally to pin a collapsible stock. I am having a hell of a time finding them around Bricktown area. I know I got the company that mfgs them right in Lakewood but I can't very well walk in there asking for two roll pins..My only other thought was stopping by shoreshot and asking for a couple. Any other thoughts? The smallest things can be the biggest pain..

I picked a few up at lowes in a pinch. Hardware isle it was allll the way in the back under "tension pin" in the specialty drawers. The Lowes guy couldnt find it at first but i searched the item number up on my phone while I was thee so he punched it in the computer. Spring pin is another name usually used for it if the guy scratches his head when you as for one.

 

Note--- I had to trim the pin down a bit, as it was 1/4 too long.

Lowes is where I got mine.

Not all Home Depots have them. Found out the hard way by spending umtine in gas to buy a bux worth of pins. However, if you have a Sears Hardware by you, you can by them one at a time if need be. They have various sizes in plastic drawers that you load into their lunch bags and pay on the way out.

depends on the size, harbor freight has a roll pin assortment box that might have what you need. Mostly too big for replacing roll pins on guns, but no idea how big of one you can get away with on a stock.

Got my set from Pepboys.

Napa too. I use a 3/32" pin trimmed to about 3/4"

Shit... Forgot about napa. 3/32 was what I was after.

Thanks

I looked on home depots website and only showed one pin..so I ruled them out.

3/32 may not hold up - I've had one break on me. Swapped it out for a 1/8 - it's bigger but holds much better.

??? A roll pin broke? How, if the stock has the regular adjustment pin in place?

 

ETA: I've pinned a few hundred using 3/32" x 7/8"

I don't know how but all I know is that it broke. I had to drill it out and put in a 1/8

I got a variety pack of roll pins for mine at auto zone.

Pinning a vltor Imod any tips?

Also should 1 pin be fine or double up?

Yea I don't understand how it could break if the original spring lock was still in too. The roll pin isn't mean to take pressure (under any circumstance), only keep a piece from moving out of it's pinned position.

One pin is plenty. The regulations say that it can't be readily re-positioned. One pin prevents that just fine.

It could have been from rough use - stock hitting the ground a couple times. 3/32 is a thin pin... I feel much better with 1/8.

They also go by spring pins and tension pins in case the person helping you doesn't recognize the term, "roll pin".

I went to Lowes last week bought 1/8th roll pins 80 cents for a 2 pack. Bought 1/8th Titanium drill bits for 3 dollars. Drilled my CTR stock and VLTOR Carbine Extension and BOOM solid

Oh I also used a bench grinder to shorten the roll pin to the same width as the tab on the buffer tube. It sits slightly recessed in the plastic now and I didnt drill through both sides of the CTR so its not coming out ever

Found a 120 pc set black finish at Harbor Freight $2.99

 

Other guys wanted that for a 2pk and they were zinc coated.

 

Tractor Supply sells them as well.
