    So I've put together probably 8 AR's now and I've decided that I should probably keep some spare parts on hand just in case, because I've lost a detents and smashed roll pins before. Then I had to wait to get more. I work for an industrial supplier so I have access to literally thousands of different roll pins and I can get them very cheap. I've looked several places online and most of this lists have one or two pins that are different from each other. Does anyone know or have a list of all the roll pin sizes in a mil-spec AR? Once I have a correct list I'll get a 100 of each (that's the minimum) from work to have just in case myself or my friends need spares.

    I just go to my LGS and they have a Brownells roll pin kit. Dunno what all sizes they have, the but whatever the AR uses, it's in there diameter wise.
    Grind to proper length.

    Such minor deal I never really paid attention to what the sizes really were.
