Canik tp9 mag release pin issue

[Robot666]

So in the process of switching the mag release to left handed the pin that holds the switch in pinged out of the pistol and into it would seem another dimension as I can't find the bloody thing anywhere.

Does anyone know where I can get a spare?

I tried the real steel canik euro site but it looks like they don't ship to the UK.

Any idea what it looks like, approximate size etc ?

Would a small roll pin do the job ?

You could try contacting kyairsoft. The oem of the canik pistol is armorer works and kyairsoft are the official parts retailer for AW and for WE (kind of the same company). 

 

But if it's just a pin then a roll pin may be perfect for the job as Tackle says

The pin looks like this, so unfortunately a roll pin would be no good.

Thanks any way chaps

Bugger, that's a weird looking pin, only other thing I can think of that comes close would be a very small R clip, but you'd have to get busy with a couple of pairs of needle nose pliers to get the shape right.

LCT HK53 uses a similar pin on the rear pin for the receiver. What length do you think it is and I'll check the LCT pin to see if it matches.

If it is the same i have a spare new LCT G3 front handguard pin here.

I'd say it was 1 inch or so

The clip is part of the pin highlighted in re above. Might be easier finding an LCT than a Canik part.

 

Failing that, buy a split pin and modify it to fit.

That would be perfect I reckon.

Thanks buddy I'll try track one down.

In the meantime time I'm gonna get my head torch on and scout the floor again for the bloody thing

Depending on the material, a magnet can help in floor searching. Part of the airsoft teching experience, being on your knees, looking for a comically small piece.

I've ordered a box of R clips I think I should be able to fashion one into what I need
