Polytech M14 , Mag release roll pin

[Dynamic]

Hey there guys, I am installing a magazine lock on my M14 ( Want to retain the original flash hider ) but the roll pin broke. It was extremely hard to punch out , I guess I had deformed it too much and did not want to go back in and well it broke LOL. Where can i buy this roll pin ? This is not the same size as the USGI ones as those are smaller.

Also do they sell roll pins you can cut to size? Would Homedepot/ Lowes / Ace carry them ? And if so do i have to buy a special set of pliers that crimps the edges a bit ?

Thanks!

Roll pins are pretty common, just about anyplace will have some. Your Polytech is probably metric, make sure the diameter is the same, the length can be cut.

What do you use to cut roll pins? These are really hard

Vise and a grinder? Just trim a little at a time.

Dremel with heavy duty cutting disk works too. Use a vise or vise grips to hold it for safety. Eye protection too, of course.
