Carrier Stop Pin went missing...
I was disassembling my 92 today to work on some longer OAL feeding issues and before I had removed the carrier I noticed the Carrier Stop Pin was missing! Hmmm, not sure when it went missing. Could have been months or days ago. Gun functions fine as the carrier stop remains captured. Is this a super specific part or can I cut a generic pin to fit? It's #51 on this diagram:

Thanks!

You might not have any choice other than to use a generic pin.

Re: Carrier Stop Pin went missing...
I've never taken that pin out, so this is speculation on my part, but I would assume that a roll pin or split pin of the appropriate diameter & then cut/ground flush for length would do just fine.
As you mentioned, the Stop Pin only seems to come into play when the carrier is removed from the receiver & keeps the Carrier Stop from flying out because of its spring.
If push came to shove, I guess you could leave that pin out. The only downside that I can think of (beyond having the Carrier Stop go flying off into the night the next time the carrier is removed) would be that the channel might eventually get gummed-up from powder fouling or dirt, making the carrier travel problematic.
You could also try posting your question to the DIY Gunsmithing section of the forum & see if you get any different answers there.

Ive been thinking about one of these stock pin kits, just to have on hand and keep with my gunsmithing supplies.
Due to my clumsy fingers its a must have.

Re: Carrier Stop Pin went missing...
Thanks, I initially removed the pin to polish the carrier stop as it was really rough. I want to say it was a directional, knurled end pin but can't say for sure. Knowing my luck it will be some strange diameter pin that will take hours to shrink to the right size.
I've contacted Rossi to see what they can do. It looks like if nothing better I can get a piece of 5/64" rod to work.
I thought that same thing and had the same worry about leaving it out!Nashville Stage wrote: If push came to shove, I guess you could leave that pin out.

So naturally the part is backordered with no foreseeable future when it will arrive... I did inquire about new 92's coming and they said 38/357 have started to ship.

I guess Numrich doesn't have one?

Re: Carrier Stop Pin went missing...
I wonder how close the case cleaning SS pins are? Or, how about an old drill bit of the proper diameter?

A 5/64" bit fits but would need a little peening to snug him up. Looking like my best option.Ranch Dog wrote:I wonder how close the case cleaning SS pins are? Or, how about an old drill bit of the proper diameter?
