10/22 replacement pins

[stovepipe699]

Hi everyone. I misplaced my trigger group for my 10/22 when moving a couple years ago, and it hasn't turned up. (The rifle was apart for a bedding job). I bought a trigger group, and then realized I still need the pins to install it into the receiver. Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on these pins? At this point I'm just putting it back to stock and leaving well enough alone. Thanks for looking, Rob

Your best bet may be Ebay....there are a couple sellers selling custom machined pins for about $8 USD shipped to Canada.

Cheap drill bits cut and ground to the right length is what I use. Canadian tire has a set that's pretty much always on sale that has multiples of all the smaller sizes.

Thanks for the quick responses folks. I see there are some on eBay tsaktuo, thanks. turbo_bird, your idea is a perfect solution for me. I have one of those kits you're referring to, perfect!!

3/16" bits seem to fit nicely.

Right on. I had to do the same with my 10/22 once too, it was one of the smaller ones in the trigger group.

CTC here had some steel rod in exactly the right size. Insert, mark, cut to length with a dremel cutoff wheel.

Instead of cutting down drill bits you can also buy drill rod and then cut a couple of bits and dress the ends. Most good industrial supply places have drill rod. Another option is an industrial supplier that sells dowel pins. Just get two that fit across the width of the receiver. If they are not willing to sell by less than a box of 100 then the same place that sells dowel pins will also sell drill rod. So in that case by a length of it and make your own.

Dlask can get you anything you need on a 1022

Dlask has replacement pins, but if you really want to make life easy, they also stock the Kidd pins whose ends are threaded, and sit flush after you countersink screw holes and tighten them down. No more pins falling out while the action is out of the stock!
