Just tried installing a 3-screw trigger on my rifle, when I was taking the orginal trigger out, i lost the detention clamp that holds the trigger pin in place. Where do I find a couple of replacements. Its the little "C" shaped clip. and what the heck is the real name for this part. I have been trying to figure it out on Numrich's site for a few minutes and I am really frustrated.

thanks

I believe the name of it is an "E clip", but not 100% sure.

think it might be this on their site according to the description, but not sure of that either.

AIU is right, just take the pin to any local hardware and find one to fit it.

Unless your hardware stores where you live are better than where I live they won't have such an animal. Your best bet will be automotive parts store, farm equipment i.e. John Deere, Case-International, etc. Last resort would be MSC, Graingers or McMaster-Carr. Possible source might be small engine repair shop.

Its an E-ring or E- clip depending on whaere you are from. Napa is a good place to find them or at Checker auto in the help section they usually have an assortment.
I remove mine with a pocket maget and a small pick, saves a lot of swearing.
