| The dust cover spring on my AR has broken and I need to replace it. Can someone tell me how the dust cover comes off, and also, how does the spring go on and in what orientation? Thanks for any help. I looked in the TM, but couldn't find any reference to the dust cover. |

The last time I replaced an ejection port cover on an A2 upper I had to remove the barrel. The pin can only slide out towards the front unless you have an M16 upper (no FA or BD). I do recall reading one post of someone being able to remove the pin by sliding it to the rear, but I wouldn't force anything... |
| Yea, I found that out earlier today when I tried to take the pin out. I wound up placing two pieces of duct tape on the receiver next to the forward assist to keep the scratching down, and forced the pin out anyway. I was afraid I might bend the pin, but as it turned out, it came out fine. I also wound up loosing the little c-clip that holds the pin in. Glad I ordered a couple more. You just have to go slow and be careful. Thanks for all the help. |
