Since for some reason I didn't have the replacement spring I needed today.  In typical fashion I found a temporary replacement.  Wasn't sure if this has been posted before.  For detent springs.  The spring in a Bic lighter can be used.  You will have to cut a few coils for it to fit.  The elchepo lighter I found first wasn't long enough.  The spring I lost was for the safety.  Not as stiff as the correct one but good enough to get myself out of a bind till replacements come in.  Another spring I have lost and done similar with is the charging handle.  The spring out of a click style pen will work for the charging handle.  Hope my thinking might help someone out of a bind.
