Replacement Bolt for SL-9 front takedown pin plates.

CCClinton

I lost one of the nuts and the bolt for the front takedown pin plates on my Hoffman Tactical SL-9. Does anyone know where to get replacements for the exact sizes. Due to the design finding the exact head for the bolt is relatively important and the nut size is critical.
Any help for a link to the ones I'm needing would be greatly appreciated.

I find this stuff at my local hardware store too because they have an awesome nut and bolt selection, not my local home depot though.

On a side note... using thread loc is highly recommend especially if running with the Super Safety. The bolt and nut were gone before I noticed it and finding them proved impossible.

Do you mean the pivot pin? From what I've seen it looks like a standard AR pivot pin. You can buy parts individually from places like this.

If you want something fancier or to get a set, there's lots of options for that too.

LOL, that makes a little more sense in regards to using thread locker, but the way he mentioned the unique head design, I thought he must mean the pivot pin, not a regular hex nut.

11C1P oh wow I didn't see your reply lol, lots of links! and lots of takedown pins
Yeah threadlocker on threads is the best place to use it!
I also wonder how much ammo does CCClinton go through, my front takedown bolts have gotten lose but haven't completely fallen off yet.

undeadchew I just had built the SL-9 and gotten several 30rd glock mags. Was playing with the Super Safety... probably shot 2-300rds and noticed it was missing.
