    Scroll down about 60% and look at the tool they used. I used my ninja skills to make one just now. Its about 4 inches long. Check it!

    is that for pivot pin detent installation? I used my ninja skills to hunt down a 1/4" clevis pin that was in the hardware aisle of Home Depot.


    Yes, and I used 1/4 SS tubing. It wouldn't quite fit so I sanded it down with some sandpaper and it fits great.


    And Kade, I've never built a lower before so I wan't to make it as easy as possible. From what I've read a few people have had trouble with that spring and pin and actually had the spring fly out never to be seen again. :o

    It's a miserable damned pin. I don't even know how I did it without shooting it across the room.
