Because I know everyone loves to read about the boring, underrated parts of a firearm, I’m back and ready to deliver the goods once again. Today I want to talk about pins, springs and screws – the tendons and ligaments of the firearm world. These are the parts that hold your firearm together, lackluster as they may be. Even though they aren’t the most glamorous parts, they are important. They’re especially important in the G3 rifle, which is exactly why we have so many of them offer, including the new G3 ejector lever pin.

Like all machine pins, the G3 ejector lever pin is a component designed to secure two or more parts together, relative to each other. Found inside the G3 trigger pack, the ejector lever pin secures the ejector lever to the trigger housing at the kink in the lever. Aside from securing the ejector lever, the pin also provides the lever with a pivot point, which allows it to properly function.  

Unless you want to be stuck manually extracting/ejecting spent casings from your G3, it’s probably a good idea to pick up a spare ejector lever pin or two while they’re still available. Lucky for you, we’re selling them in a 2-pack for only $2.95. While you’re at it, consider a replacement ejector lever as well.
