| Like it says, the selector detent is stuck in the hole. There was some resistance when I put the detent in (it did not just drop in) now the detent is stuck and the selector does not function properly. ...I need to get it out, any suggestions? |

Hi I had the exact problem. The pin must move freely, I made the mistake of tapping it in gently. When I rotated the selector switch the detent pin did not work properley. I rotated the selector so it was between safe and semi so the detent was not in the extra deep recess. Then I used a punch and forced the selector switch out. That exposes the detent pin and I used another smaller punch to push the detent pin out. THen I drilled the hole to clean up the goo causing the detent pin to stick. Good luck. |
| Thanks everyone, I did just what gcollector2002 said and got the sucker out, it looks like the hole wasn't drilled correctly, there appears to be a "step" in the hole, like a small hole was drilled first then followed by the larger, except the larger doesn't go all the way through. ...anyway, I got it fixed and made my own detent. ...works great now. btw, this is a RRA lower. |
| I had the same problem a while back on my RRA lower. I ended up having to tap the selector switch out, and then tapping the selector detent out. It was stuck in there good. I replaced the detent with a DPMS part, and all is well, which leads me to believe it was my detent that was the problem. |
