Colt AR-15 question

I've got a Colt HBAR Match Sporter. It's a pre-ban, serial MH002xxx. What is the correct receiver pivot pin for this rifle: the push pin, the pivot pin and screw, or something else? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You can replace them with the proper size push pin.
If the hole is larger in the front, (most likely scenario) then the gun left the factory with the screw-type pin that doesn't have the spring retainer.
(Notice the rear pin..it's secured from falling out of the receiver by a spring and a tiny follower-that's what I mean by a 'spring retainer')

It had the pin with screw, like dcs.
If you want to install an upper with the small hole, Brownell's has an adapter.
Once I got used to it I found it preferable, as it is next to impossible to lose the upper.

They were mostly made with the pivot pin and screw, but there are a few examples of the of the pushpin pre-bans out there too, circa 1994 or before.
