Notes from the standard
- Part number: basic MS number, C (corrosion-resistant steel pin), shank diameter in sixteenths of an inch and grip in tenths of an inch: MS17985C410 is the 1/4 pin with a 1.000 grip.
- Grip lengths from the first listed to 9.900 in steps of .100 for every diameter.
- Grip +.020 −.000, measured to the edge of the locking element hole prior to staking.
- For cost purposes 1/4, 1/2 and 5/8 pins are preferred over 3/16, 7/16 and 9/16 pins respectively.
- Collar mandatory on pins with aluminum alloy handles, optional on pins with CRES handles.
- Alloy steel pins were eliminated: numbers of Revision F with a dash in place of C (alloy steel) are cancelled and superseded in Revision G by the same number with C (MS17985-410 is superseded by MS17985C410).
