What size e-clip for RST/MarkI trigger pivot?

[edlmann]

In the Mark I and RST models, the trigger pin is called the "Trigger Pivot" (part A34) and is held in place by an e-clip called the "Trigger Pivot Lock Washer" (part A34-1). In reality, part A34-1 is a standard e-clip.

My question is, does anyone know what size e-clip I should order?

I did find this post on Gun-Talk that says 1/8" but it would be nice to have confirmation before I order.

In my experience along this line, I believe that you can measure the actual diameters and use that info.
BUT.....
"An imperial E Clip is always measured by the Shaft size. For example if you a 1/2″ E Clip will suit a 1/2″ shaft.
A metric E Clip is always measured by the Groove size."
From a parts supplier, not me. The grroves are considered to be a standard size in the industry, so every 10mm or 3/4" shaft should have matching groove diameters regardless.
if you have a micrometer, measure the shaft diameter and then the groove diameter, along with it's width. A hardware store should match up
with your needs in a few seconds, at about 50 cents.

I just measured one in my MK parts box. .112 inside ear to ear.

If you have the pin go to the hardware, seems the simplest fix to me.

Given that 1/8" is .125, that sounds about right. I want to have a clip on hand when I disassemble so I can reassemble before I forget how.
