Taper pins

What's the type and size taper pins used for the front sight and bayo lug? It's probably in this forum somewhere but I've missed it. Maybe someone can link the original post if it was sometime ago.

2/0 Morse taper x 5/8" long.  1" pins are readily available and can be cut to length.  Reamers are available at machinist supply companies.

Hi there,

the taper pins for the bayonet lug are # 2/0 and 5/8” long.. the ones I used were slightly longer at 3/4” but I took that 1/8 off then installed it.  Get yourself a properly sized reamer (#2/0) for the job. Now that I’m thinking of it...  I have a box full of #2/0 x 3/4” pins..  if you want I can send you some..
