For USGI spec rifles.Will not fit metric
This part is really a 5 star quality part but I gave it 3 so people would check the review and not get the wrong part. Sadlak makes two versions of this latch. One for standard rifles (USGI) spec and one for metric Chinese made rifles. This is the standard version. metric rifles need a larger pin size. This thing is so hard (55 Rc) that it is not practical trying to enlarge the hole with standard drill bits/drills. Look elsewhere if you are working on a metric M14 clone. By the way, this thing came with one of the best installation guides I have ever seen with an aftermarket part.
