The wife informed me that when she was in the army there were big boxes of these pins on hand as recruits lost them constantly. I said I would feel better if I had access to one of these boxes.

Ah yeah. Could call up Ken at NZ Ar15 and see if he has one. Or order off brownells

@Tussock here is your AR-15 Extractor retainer pin size:

OAL: 0.446" (=11.33mm)
Diameter: 0.099" (=2.51mm)

Methinks a re-purposed 2.5mm drill bit shank will keep you extracting.

NB this time, keep it clean and oiled. (-:

Cheers 10x over. I was going to go see Mark at Waitaki engineering but I like the drill bit idea as it fits the rifle well.

And yes, cleaned and oiled. I actually get quite upset when my guns are not oiled, so it never happens in normal proceedings. The eezox is out in force right now.

My must dog know how much I like it because for reasons known only to him he has rolled in my oil rag and now smells like eezox.

Might see if I can get an extractor pin today if I go to town and test it.

Id even try it in a tumbler and see it that cleaned it up

I will most likely fire five rounds then clean it and repeat till it smooths out a bit.
