Where the heck do I find an N frame grip pin thingymajig

[ShadyDrifter]

Bought a 629 that was wearing pachs. Pulled them off to put on proper wood stocks and the pin at the bottom of the frame that aligns and supports the stocks is missing.
Dash 2 if that matters ..

A non specific part. I have made them from nails. Need one the correct diameter or a little larger, polish it to fit, cut to length, round and polish the ends, drive it into place, install stocks.

Grip Pin...Try Smith & Wesson or Numrich Gun Parts Corp...

Check hardware stores for a roll pin of the correct diameter, you may need to trim the length. Ebay or Fastenal may also have what you're looking for.

Or a drill bit cut to length

Grip Pin | Gun Parts Corp.

This kind?

I've snipped a piece of coat hanger in the past on used guns that was missing the pin due to using older original Hogue grips. It is the prefect size.

You are right Laketime...

I've snipped a piece of coat hanger in the past on used guns that was missing the pin due to using older original Hogue grips. It is the prefect size.

Yes sir a wire coat hanger is the perfect diameter for this use...just cut to length...it fits perfectly...

Just might need a “cupped” end punch to install a factory grip pin, hitting a round ended pin with a flat punch can get a little squirrely.

Nail method

I used the nail method after trying to do the drill bit size.

Didn't think of the coat hanger....but then again all are plastic here

I replaced one with a 1/8" roll pin trimmed to length. I bought it at ACE hardware (they are inventoried as tension pins). Knowing me I bought three, two to screw up and one to use. About 25 cents each.
