My Blackfeather came in today... I was excited for about 3 minutes... Then confused... Now I feel like someone has peed in my Cheerios, kicked my dog, and ate my birthday cake all in one.

I think my M1A might have a genuine USGI receiver, which don't get me wrong Im somewhat happy to learn it might possibly not have been made in Brazil, but it has a longer connector lock pin that does not fit flush with the receiver and prevents me from dropping the action into the stock. Here's a pic,

Can I get the civilian size lock pin? Or will I have to cut the original down some?
