Default Reciever rear pin detent????

Hi, does anyone know were I can get a replacement detent for the the rear receiver pin and spring. I think while I had the upper offer to get a flash hider installed, it fell out and I can see it is a pretty small part that I am not even sure what it looks like. Or is there another option for this, a piece of roll pin rounded on the end, any assistance and/or advice is very much appreciated.

Thanks

Is it the rear take down pin detent or safety detent?

Separating the upper from the lower will not expose those. Removing the pistol grip will.

The pistol grip on a 15-22 holds in place the safety detent, safety detent spring, rear take down pin detent, and rear take down pin detent spring.

What JaPes said.

Unless you removed the pistol grip the detents should all be there. Some aftermarket grips have holes in them where they should be solid and even if the detent and spring is there it won't work.
