Does anyone have any ideas on where to get, or make, some replacement e clips for them? Gave spikes a call, there not sure if more will be ordered or where to find some (there working on that though and told me to call back in a week or two) till then I cannot shoot boolits as my spring bent as well due to the e clip falling off some how... <,<
I know this is an ideal time to switch to a cmmg only problem is I already have a dedicated st22 upper and bought the 556 chamber adapter a while back. |

If you get into a pinch there is something you might consider. You can put the CMMG parts in your Spikes unit. You use the Spikes collar and maybe even the rails. I have been using a Spikes chamber adapter with my CMMG bolt and rails for a couple of years, no issues at all. I had do to a very minor and quick job on the adapter to get the rails to fit just right. Five minutes with a small file or Dremel. Oh, why? I had a Spikes unit and had trouble getting it to run 100%. Switched over to a CMMG and got flawless operation. CMMG does list the parts you need seperately, BTW. |

you will need to know the size, but you might be able to find these at a good hardware store
or e-clips |
| There was a post on here some months back that listed the size of that clip for the Spikes. You are not the only person who has lost it. I would just take the unit to my local hardware store and match it up. Might cost $ .20 or so to buy one. But I would buy several... |
| I just bought a couple E-clips today at Ace hardware locally. $0.33 to get me shooting again. This is the second replacement I'm putting in. I found the 1/8" clip looks like the best size. Such a PITA. I emailed spikes about a warranty on this unreliable design but havn't heard back yet. |

HERE If you are nice to them MAYBE you can convince them to send you one for free. |

The 1 piece guide rod is like $7.95 Too bad the cheapest shipping option they have is over $11. I don't know why they can't stick that in an envelope. I've had three of those clips pop out using hi velocity ammo. I finally gave up on it and replaced the rod with the one from my Ciener kit which is one piece. I don't know why Spikes went with the flismy clips. Hell, even Ciener knew not to go that route. |
If you call, they will send it USPS I believe.
