roll pin
A spring pin (also called tension pin or roll pin) is a mechanical fastener that secures the position of two or more parts of a machine relative to each other. Spring pins have a body diameter which is larger than the hole diameter, and a chamfer on either one or both ends to facilitate starting the pin into the hole. The spring action of the pin allows it to compress as it assumes the diameter of the hole. The force exerted by the pin against the hole wall retains it in the hole, therefore a spring pin is considered a self retaining fastener.
Spring pins may be used to retain a shaft as a journal in a plain bearing, as a type of key to fasten one shaft to another, or to precisely fasten flat faces of mating parts together through symmetric hole locations.

Looking for possibly a few of these. I would like to keep it to good quality, reputable parts. Would like to be within reasonable driving distance of Gresham or if they can be mailed, I can Paypal you.
Would buy online but I don't need anything else and flat rate shipping makes it not worth it.
I'm looking specifically for the sear housing "coiled spring pin". Its the very most rearward pin in the FCU. Apparently I lost it at some point and now I'm ready to do an apex trigger upgrade but need that pin to complete it. The Sig site has it (2.5mmx20 coiled spring pin) for $5 with $10...
