Width of a 98k barrel band spring question.

[XRCD011]

Can someone measure a 98k barrel band spring (the spring that secures the two bands) and tell me the width as I have to fab a spring up for my dewat project. Better yet is if anyone has one to sell. Many thanks in advance.

GAFF old friend here you go. I have to salute all those who helped out with this build GAFF, Brunomauser, Andytacker, Jason at Gunco, even Numrich in the US thanks very much for the help, started from nothing to a reasonable facsmile of a 98k built up from a hodge podge of random parts. Lessons learned don,t fall down the rabbit hole of making a upper handguard from scratch when Numrich sells them for $13.50 USD.

Stock from Brunomuaser that had been cut (duffle) sadly not under the band and in need of some carpentry.

Just buy this instead of being a hero and making one.
