Greetings and Salutations
It has been almost 10 years, but I have one of my FAL rifles back.
(It turns out, the other one had been a "hot" rifle.) My thanks to the
ATF & FBI. Rah!.
Okay, I finally get the time to tear them done, and I am now
wondering "was I always missing those pins? or did they get lost
somewhere along the line?"
The pins in specific are the "Stock locking pins" #56
<https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/federal-arms/fa-91?page=3>
They hold the stock onto the receiver, and I gather are rather
important. (The reason I wonder if the pins were missing is that I
had some problems with one of the FALs, and I _think_ it might have
been this one.)
The above URL is "out of stock", or I'd be ordering there..Anyway,
what I need is a source or alternatives. (I know, "I was a machinist
once, I can make my own", but ...)

What's the back story here? Sounds interesting...

you can use the two holes in the stock to store the pins when disassembling. I didn't know this for a long time.

About ten years ago, I got burgled.
Four years ago, I get a letter from the FBI, my rifles had been
recovered, and after being used as evidence, it was now possible to
return them to their rightful owner "if I could identify...".
You would not believe the amount of paperwork gets generated from
"simple" police reports. I had two, one as a witness, one as the
householder, so I ordered the DVD.
Hurry up and wait.
In the meantime, I've moved, installed a gun safe. And made sure
I have records of all such items. Serial numbers are a good thing.
