C-clip size ?

[Muddyboots]

I had a great day at the range today. Five hundred and twenty well spent rounds . I improved my shooting and my carbine ran like a top! The learning didn't end there though. As I was cleaning at home, I discovered that the C-clip that holds the ejection port cover hinge pin in place has gone missing!?! (damn port door gremlins!)

I Know BCM has a port door assembly kit for about five bucks but all I need is the clip. I know where I can buy them in a small number (100) which isn't so bad since I now know the hard way to keep some spares. Can anyone tell me the correct size for this part?

Thank you,

Quib that is fantastic, yet another perfect display of info.

The retaining clip is NOT something that should come off easily, my guess is that it was not on all the way to start with.

Just a couple minutes of research.....[:)]

And I agree, the cir-clip probably wasn't completely installed to begin with. Regardless of the application, those things are always a PITA!
