Roll Pin Source

[birdshooter]

I am looking to replace the front sight on my S&W 22-4 and need a roll pin (I am actually putting a factory original sight back on, replacing an aftermarket sight). I have contacted S&W and they are sending me the correct sight. They are however out of the roll pins. They gave me the size but I don't know where to look to get them. They couldn't give me a source either. Any help would be appreciated.

The roll pin size per Smith is: .0595 diameter X .240 long

Just reuse the old one you take out.
They are good for more then one use.

Other then that, any decent hardware store has a roll pin assortment in a steel drawer case.
You can probably find in there that will work there.

McMaster Carr lists this: http://www.mcmaster.com/#roll-pins/=hdjwzh

Part no 91610A108 for stainless, $6.81 for 25

-or-

Part No. 91611A081 in carbon steel, $8.26 for 100

That's 1.5mmx6mm which translates to 0.591" x 0.236" which would probably be close enough, as they measure slightly oversized for tight fit.

They don't list inch-size pins that small.

Thanks for the help guys! I can always count on the High Road!

And make sure you use the correct punch so you do not flare the end of the roll pin as you drive it.

A friend has bought small numbers of roll pins from Fastenal.
If they have an office near you, they will have or get what you want and not much money.

Fastenal...I checked them but they don't seem to carry that oddball size.
