I'm finally getting around to assembling my AR and I just noticed that my lower parts kit did not include a bolt release spring :( Is there anything that I can use as a substitute? Or am I just fucked?
It is possible that I just dropped it, I'm looking now but I'm not expecting to find something that tiny if I did.

Contact the manufacturer of your LPK for a replacement.  This happens all the time, it seems, but it's usually missing detents or roll pins, based on recent posts.

Dang straight! I bought this lower last December so I really didnt want to wait another week or two for a replacement to show up. I think I owe my roommate a beer

cool, i was about to say, look everywhere!  I was missing the bolt catch roll pin from my LPK, so I built around it.
then the rear takedown pin wouldn't go through the hole...because the roll pin was wedged in the groove on the pin just snug enough i needed an ice pick to pop it out!
