10/22 mag release pin

Does anyone have an idea of where one can be obtained? This pin has always been fall out loose and the other day it fell out and disappeared on me. Thanks

contact Gravel, they are the warranty center for Ruger in Canada. They should have some they can sell you.

Try an industrial hardware store. Solid pin. Probably $.20-$.50, maybe $1

Yeah I might be able to just find something generic, although Im not sure what the OD is exactly. I got in touch with Gravel so I'll see what they say. Thanks for the help.

And that’s why people put tape on Ruger pins

Is it part #34 you need ?

You can make a replacement pin from a drill bit shank.

Part 38 in the trigger group schematic. Thats not a bad idea to use a drill bit, I might have an extra that fits.

Very good suggestion and I like that creative thought. A cheap drill bit set if you don’t have any on hand will save you time, shipping and hassle. Just a little elbow grease.

Can you post a picture of the schematic your using or use the one I posted to identify what pin you need.
I have a big cookie tin of ruger pins and parts

Assuming he's after part #26, bottom right side on your schematic pic you posted

There's also this available from Tandemkross, has a ball detent in it to keep it in place. It's in stock at Calgary Shooting Centre for $7

Those are nice, that detent ball is a excellent improvement.

Yes, didn't look well enough at the one you posted FCD, it's #26. I guess Ruger makes it a loose fit to reduce any friction on the mag release, bolt catch but man it's annoying when doing any work with the trigger group. Those Tandemcross look perfect and seem like a nice upgrade, I'll order a set of those. Glad I posted, thanks for all the input guys.

The TANDEMKROSS pins are sold in a two pack because the second identical pin can be used in the ejector pivot.
As seen in the schematic both are part #26.

Incidentally, if anyone wants OEM Ruger mag release/ejector pins, I have a bunch.
