: newly made ROA base pin

[george tennant]

there is a guy on e-bay selling brand new, NON- RUGER, ROA base pins ,his company makes ,he is in arkansas ,and wants 69.00 for them does anybody know anything about them how good they are ,?how good the fit? how good they work? ,they stainless steel ,here is part of the add. After years of demand and months of working with engineers, we have successfully reproduced the ultra scarce Ruger Old Army model base pin. These are made from 17-4 stainless steel and to closer dimensions than the originals. We only have them available in stainless steel at this time. They look original and are totally correct. Get them while they're hot!.. his e-bay handle is gun garage

If the pin is properly heat treated, 17-4ph is an excellent choice for its material.

It is a moderately hard, strong, tough material that resists corrosion.

Resists corrosion still means it must be cleaned as should all of the parts of a good firearm.
