Replacing the charging handle latch/tab for a larger unit, on first of three units the pin and spring went AWOL. Found spring...
I know the pin diameter is 1/16" - what length do I need?
While I'm at it, any idea on the spring spec too just in case?
Hoping to pick some up local at one of the few remaining well stocked mom-n-pop hardware places vs. ordering online from a gun parts retailer.

They are all spec. Where you are getting your larger "Tac Latch", should also have a good supply of springs, and pins. They are cheap, and made to fit...get you some.
The place I had a store credit from was OOS on the latch pins.
Got lucky and found the pin that went AWOL All back together ...
If you ever get into a bind again on losing small pins. Might consider using the shank of a worn out drill. Since most are made with high speed steel nowadays. A cutoff wheel in a dremel, is required to cut them to the correct length. But if it's a pin, you really need. It beats waiting a week, for one off the net to show up. Lot cheaper to.
