Mil-spec firing pin retaining pin. This little guy does an important job by holding the firing pin in place which holds the cam pin which holds the bolt.

Don't try an 'economy' replacement
I clean my AR bolt, so have to remove the retaining pin.|These are not as robust as you might think. They're fairly ductile, which means they're soft and bend easily. |If they get distorted, you can straightens them out, but only so often.

But the tang just few off. Here, if something goes wrong it'll cause a jam for sure. Maybe something more serious, given the pressures and speeds involve.|So I bought a new one and a spare. By applying Murphy's Law, having a spare means the replacement will never have to be replaced.
