Only had one cotter pin not want to go in. Different pin no problem. The problematic pin went into the hole the other one came out of.

Out of three I had aiming problems with the same one twice. Blundered it in eventually, resorted to YT today and went right in once it liked the angle. Odd that serendipity flees when I clean/grease that BCG.

Super good video thank you.
Frigging pain in the ass getting those pins in. I tossed a bolt carrier so hard it stuck in the frigging wall. Could have kilt somebody with it. Somebody came out with a pin that goes easily in on Brownells I think. Not a carter pin and their constantly out of stock so others must be frustrated with the damn cotter pin besides me. But that was a good tip I will give it a go. Thank you.

Bluntforce here yah go found the cotter pin replacement.
https://www.opticsplanet.com/kns-pre...iring-pin.html
KNS Precision AR15/M16 Firing Pin KNSPERMA Color: Black, Gun Model: AR-15, M16, 29% Off $9.95 but I would have given them $99.95 I had so much trouble with one damn cotter pin. I have not tried it but Optics has them and everyone else seems to be out of stock? So I guess others got pissed getting that cotter pin in? Comment section: Helpful Positive Review Excellent Upgrade by Huck, Verified Owner, May 4, 2020 This is one of my favorite (simple) upgrades! No more fighting with the cotter-style firing pin retaining pin. Tight fit, excellent quality, and easy to install or uninstall. Very simple to get properly oriented. Highly recommend! 2/2 found this helpful |
