Centennial question

[sceva]

I saw a want to buy searching for a Grip Safety pin for a Centennial. I realize a lot of these fell out and were lost but wouldn't it be easier to just make one from some drill rod? I don't think they were special in some way.

I've never seen one for sale, but I've also never looked for one either.
While not the best picture, this is an original grip safety hold down pin. I can give you the exact measurements if you decide to make one.

You are correct, an appropriately sized drill rod cut to the right length can be substituted.

I would think going to some place like ace hardware you could find a pin to fit with no drama

Not me that's looking - It's in the wanted to buy section.

A common hardware store brad works great.
After you get the length, gently round both ends of the brad, and apply cold bluing to it. Use a small dab of grease to hold the pin in the grip frame.

DOH! I just realized that.
