Any thoughts on making your own cam pin replacement for an out of production part? Its about a basic as it gets, I have to measure still but its about 1/4"OD by 3/8" OAL and guides the rotating bolt inside the carrier. Gun functions fine with only one, but I'd prefer to have both in place. No idea what the original material specs were other than some type of steel but I figure if I can find some 4130 smooth rod or similar it should be super easy to make. Basically just cut to length. Maybe purchase slightly oversized diameter and sand it down in a drill chuck to fit my pieces well...
Anybody think of a reason to NOT do this? ANy suggestions for low cost, low volume round stock source?
