Short Post Line 20?

[Riemer]

Anyone know where I can find short post line 20's? I know Springfield doesn't sell them anymore. Also, some line 20's are labeled 3/16 and others 7/32. Is this an actual distinction, because I have seen the 3/16 as labeled "long post" however the 7/32 would be longer.

Thank you

I'd go to a better quality #24 for the 1/4"barrel.

The 20's are too flimsy for me.

You can trim the twenty's down if you're stuck and don't require too many.

They list a 3/16 barrel here

I have some of the black short post line 20...........how many you looking for?

Thanks Tree. I might try trimming one down and see if it works. Hey Mike, are they black or gunmetal? Do you just have them as leftovers from when they sold them or did you buy them recently?

It works, just take the time to make a decent jig.

I use a 3/8 twist bit in a drill press to trim them down.
