Bolt Catch Release Pin

[Pfc.Macdonald.J]

Hi all, I'm struggling to find a pin to replace one I lost in my m4. It's for the release catch.

The release catch is one of the long ones that runs through the body and is held in place with just the pin. It can only be 16mm long. 

Anyone know of any other guns that have the long release catches?

if it is just the pin....

probably just a 3mm pin with knurled finish at end

could just cut an old M4 receiver pin down

or bit of old metal round bar/nail - dab of epoxy right at end

(not whole pin - just end to fix in position but still swivels/operates)

seems daft to buy the whole thing....

Thanks duck...I considered using part of a gnarly paperclip and some epoxy, but that would make it very hard to remove, should i need to again in the future. 

So went with these instead...

Hopefully they'll work!
