Where to buy Roll Pins

[jrslv]

Hi Everybody,

I picked up recently a used Arminius HW9 Revolver in 22LR. It's missing the roll pin that attaches the rear sight to the gun body (has a nail instead). The only roll pins I could find locally are 3/64" and up, but I need smaller ones.

Could anybody please point me to an online store that sells gunsmithing supplies like that?

Thanks,
Jaroslav

I will check at work tomorrow and tell you what I have. I can ship it to you in a mail for free if I find the size you need.

Princess auto has a cheap kit with all kinds of sizes in it. Super useful.

Auto parts store.
Finning should have ne'er anything you need for diameter and length.

Awesome! I have a Fastenall near me and Brafasco store in town. Will check them out. As to Princess Auto, I've checked them - they only have bigger ones.

Thanks a lot guys!

Princess Auto, found a roll pin that was missing from my Galil. Their roll pins kits have a wide selection of pin sizes and lenght

If you can't find it locally, you can try Spaenaur.

This is what I'm looking for!

As I've already tried all the local places: Princess Auto, Brafasco, Fastenal, Ottawa Fastener Supply - they don't have pins smaller than 3/64". I've dropped by at a local gunsmith shop and asked the owner if he sells any gunsmithing supplies; he doesn't. I've asked where does he order roll pins from? He said he never orders them, because he's always had a full box of old pins harvested from other guns.

Anyway, he gave me a pin of the same size that I had (3/64"), but with thinner walls. Maybe it will fit better.

Not only it needs a metric pin, it probably need a dowel pin and not a roll pin, because the inner part of the sight needs to swivel freely on the pin, but right now it sits tight, due to the roll pin's expansion.
