Needed 'Smith/Machinist to make oversize pivot pin for AR15

Looking to have a front pivot pin made so I can get an exact, tight fit for my precision AR15.

Anyone got a name who might do this? It would be great if someone would make and market a .2505"-.251" pin...

Thanks,
Kern
 
Go to McMaster Carr. http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-dowel-pins/=loi7hz They have some that are .001 oversized or check if a .2505 or .251 reamer shank would help.
 
I do a little precision machining from time to time. Pm me if you are interested, I'm sure I can make something work for ya.

Hey Butch…

Yeah, I considered that route, but would like something a little bit more polished from the get go. Your post count happens to be at 1911 BTW, love my Les Baer 1911. :)

My Bad.
I meant in length, retention etc. not actual finish of the pin.
Are you running them thru and letting them hang over length? I thought about cutting to length and tapping each end to secure with a screw head on both sides. It’s not that I think the pin will fly out, I’m just anal like that. ;)
