I got everything laid out to put a lower together and the RRA LPK I bought from a respected dealer here did not have the Bolt catch spring in it! Is there a replacement size I can buy at a local hardware store and if so what size would it be? If not, where is the best place to order one without paying a large amount for shipping?

Thanks


EDIT:  Contacted dealer and he gave me RRA phone number to call! Last I do business with this respected AR15 dealer

If you check the link they have a list of spring at the bottom. The measurement for the bolt catch is different than the one I checked. I have no idea if it is correct or not.

Measured one of mine. Not sure if it was a spec spring or after market one.
.020 diameter wire
8   coils high (9 wraps of wire because of flat end wraps.)
.4 high top to bottom
.146 outside diameter of coils

Same thing happened to me a while back. Drop an e-mail to the dealer and they should ship one out to you if you. If you need it ASAP then maybe a hardware store will have what you need.
