What rear takedown pins *don't* easily fall out without the spring/detent/buffer plate installed?
The pin that came with the LPK I bought fell out in its own when I had the rifle on its side measuring the pull weight of the TT diamond it received. I installed the detent and a cut down detent spring + buffer plate, which works as it should, but then it's a serious PITA to take down because that spring/detent is in the lower and the buffer tube/plate is part of the upper. You can't just pull the pin and hinge it open without that spring flying out.
I'm running a magpul PRS stock for this Valkyrie, which makes takedown worse, since I have to remove the sock just to get to the castle nut.
Can we get KNS pins up here?? I see them on Brownells but that's it. Is there anything comparable that people recommend?
