Can anyone tell me what the roll pin size is for the trigger guard?

 

I bought a Seekins Precision trigger guard for my build and didn't realize that it doesn't come with a roll pin (I chose a LPK that did not include a trigger group or the trigger guard because I wanted to "upgrade" those parts).

 

Rather than having to order a pin online and pay for shipping, I was hoping to run over to Lowes or Home Depot and pick up a pin or two but I'm not 100% certain on the size.

 

I saw the following measurements on another website. Can anyone confirm if this is correct?

 

Trigger Guard roll pin___ L = 0.610 INCHES MIN AND 0.640 INCHES MAX 
____________________DIA = 0.131 INCHES MIN AND 0.135 INCHES MAX 

Stick the lower in your pocket and take it with you.

Trigger guard roll pin 1/8 by 5/8 long.

Trigger guard roll pin 1/8 by 5/8 long.

The hole in the lower is 5/32"

I could only find a package of 1/8 x 1 package of pins, so I'll have to take a hacksaw and cut one down to size.

 

Does anyone have any advice before I try this? I'm presuming that I should take a file to the edge of the roll pin that's going into the ears and add a little oil to it. Should I also crimp that end as well?

 

I bought one of these last week to get the pin in an effort not to break of the ears:

A hammer and wooden block should suffice.

I sometimes get all "Hulk, Smash!!!" with hammers, so I figured that the press would be the best route to go - I've got the roll pin cut to 5/8" length, I'm going to check my measurements again to be sure and then press the pin in

If you ever need the specific sizes of things

Thanks - this chart is great.

 

0.625 is equal to 5/8, so the 1/8" x 1" roll pin that I cut down to 5/8" should work okay.

 

That having been said, I just spent almost two hours crawling around on the garage floor looking for the front take down pin detent that I accidentally launched into low orbit (I did actually find it), so I'm going to wait until tomorrow to put the trigger guard in.

Get a large clear plastic bag and do the work inside, If it launches, it's in "the bag".

Just breathe shallow while in the bag. A spotter should also be present!

I'm not sure where I got it... maybe stag but it's a spare parts lpk. Nothing major but it has about 3 of every spring, detent and pin you could ever lose/want. I keep it in my grip

I'll have to remember that for next time.

 

The detent took thee ricochets before landing. I was able to follow the first two but lost it on the third one. I ended up borrowing a neighbor's magnetic nail roller and found it (along with about 50 staples and some various other junk) that way after crawling along the floor with a flashlight.

I got my homemade roll pin inserted without issue using the Little Crow pin pusher. It only took about ten turns of the screw to get the pin seated flush. The only issue that I have to take care of now is putting a dab of paint on the end of the pin that I cut down
