J1valverde Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hello. I recently acquired a M1 and was wondering if I could order just the bolt release pin or if I would have to order the complete carrier latch? For reference I’m talking about this piece: https://www.brownells.com/shotgun-parts/trigger-group-parts/carrier-parts/carrier-latches/carrier-latch-prod6253.aspx just trying to see if I can get just the bolt.

truckcop Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 It's unclear what part you're asking about. The part you linked to is the carrier latch. There's a pin that holds the carrier latch in the receiver that you can order. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/740510G If, by chance, you're talking about the "button" that protrudes through the receiver that you press on, no, you can't order that separately. That piece is press-fit into the latch body. If you're talking about something else, you need to clarify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J1valverde Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 That’s exactly right. I was talking about the bolt release button. I’ve already order the complete latch carrier part. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Rose Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) The bolt release “button” is an add on part. You will need to drill and tap the stud on your factory part to accept the screw for the button (buttons available from Nordic, Briley, Taran Tactical, Arrendondo, etc). The tapped size will vary based on the brand (generally 4-40, 5-50, or 6-32. A hint...DO NOT drill all the way through the factory part. The stud can break loose easily. A blind tapped hole about .250” is best Edited August 12, 2018 by Steve Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Rose Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Here is another idea. This device acts as a bolt release lever with no modification to the factory Latch Carrier https://www.brownells.com/shotgun-parts/bolt-parts/bolt-hardware/benelli-rapid-bolt-release-tabs-prod61488.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
