Need help locating a G&P part

[McNair]

Will the G&P aftermarket ones not work? I'm probably thinking of the wrong thing anyway.

[McNair]

That's what I thought. I saw one for G&P M16A2 on redwolf.
Ooh, even on amazon. haha.

Honestly I would have no clue if they're the same. I've not paid that much attention when I've borrowed a G&P rifle.
I'm just assuming they would work. The only front receiver pin I can find that specifically mentions M4, says it's for all these different GBBR rifles.

The only thing I've read about the G&P M4 front receiver pins is that they're a phony pony to get out?

Get the specs ( mic it) you can then tell if its proprietary to this brand. I'd be happy to mic/ send one of the spare CA ones that I have to you if it will fit.

[DJ]

What is "mic", and how do I go about doing it?

And yeah, that'd be great if you could.

sorry, I dig tech talk, a micrometer or a calliper, measure the pin ( body hole) diameter and length of pin.. On RS guns they have some different specs on some guns /pins too . If you are on base, some of the maintainence types will probably loan you one rather than you buying the tool.

[DJ]

Yep the science and or engineering types should most certainly have both. Go for the digital callipers ,a micrometer is way overkill for this purpose

Are you specifically looking for a front pin that has the little groove for the detent? If not, I probably have a bunch of old G&P body pins from receivers that I broke.

Worst case I can have my father in law turn one for you. I would need the dimensions for it is all. If you are coming out to Harpers game he could look at it then.
