AR15 Takedown detent spring


Need one or more.....




Anyone know who carries these in Canada?

Man, who knew a simple little baby spring could cause so much grief :(

probably a stupid idea but it looks like the spring in Bic lighter. Maybe enough while waiting to find one.


Little to big, but good idea :)






Ask this guy, has some small parts not mentioned available.

Completely missed him in my initial search of the EE




Not to worry, I've been offered one by a CGN :dancingbanana:


That's one thing I detest about the Canadian AR15 market, there's nothing out there. Have to head to the US for basic kit :( or ask here for someone to give up there spares.




One thing I do like though, is that there are outstanding members on this forum that will help you out in your time of need

I've tried looking for lower parts kits/ spare springs/ original equipment springs from Colt or DPMS at all the US retailers and they are sold out. Really all you need is a small enough spring to fit the hole, you can cut to length as well, I'd head to Staples and look at finding a small pen with a spring inside, or maybe Rona in the hardware dept, they have a ton of screws/springs/etc.
Or maybe a craft type store or model kit store that has those remote control cars, I could see springs being there.
If you lose the detent, I read that it can be replaced with a small piece of coat hanger wire, just cut a few millimeters off and shape to fit with dremel or sandpaper.
 
The spring of death that goes ZING if one isn't careful.

Glad to hear you got one from a friendly CGNer.
