fits if I crimp down the open end spread

this is what a retainer is supposed to be like stregth wise. Only problem I always have is most of the BCG's made that are not pure mil spec (read forgiving) the split end opposite the insertion hole is smaller, and this pin comes with a slght spread at the open end and both ends are the same size. I actually use a Dremel cut off wheel to take about 1/16th off one of the pin ends then it inserts nice and tight. That is the only reason I gave it a 4 otherwise it is a 5. A new complete BCG the retainer always has a slightly shorter pin end. I would reccommend buying this however as they are not always easy to find! Don't risk your life on a hardware store cotter pin although for recreational shooting they work
