Hello all. I just received my FS556 brake from PWS.... really nice... now it came pre drilled to pin to my barrel but no pin was included. My question is what type of pin should I use and where can I get one. My thought was just using a cut down drill bit.

Roll pin.

If mig welding, any piece clean metal round stock that fits below the top of the hole in the brake, such as a piece of clothes hanger, etc..  Or you can use a taper press pin if you can find them.

OK thanks guys......

Has anyone ever been checked to see if the drilled, pinned, welded brake actually had a pin?

I thread them and get stainless set screw from the depot. The smallest one they have. I think its 4/32. That way you dont really have to drill into the threads alot. Use stainless so if you you have to take it off the weld doesnt attach to the set screw Just the brake.

That's an awesome idea... I might ha e to try that..... home depot for the hardware?

Yup home depot
