I switched my grips today on my dpms, once putting the new grip on the safety switch has no retention whatsoever. Can anyone give me a link to a parts site with instructions on how to get the safety switch back in correctly?  Thanks

Sounds like the carpet monster stole your selector spring & detent pin. Be careful when removing your grip or you risk loosing these items.

Quoted:
look around your area for a small detent and sping that fell out when you took the grip off.  The detent looks like the tip of a ball point pen and about the size of a large booger.  Get a magnet to sweep your area.  They go into the little hole that is covered by the grip.  Any gunshop that has spare parts chould have them.

Look on Brownell's for parts:

Should only cost you $6 total


I appreciate it, I lost the spring.  Just tried to find it, needless to say, I will be heading to the gun store tomorrow.

I think that is the spring I'm thinking of. I've heard that spring can be replaced with the spring out of a standard issue government black ball-point pen. I might be wrong, I know there is at least one spring that can be replaced in that manner. Probably just in combat though.

Buffer retainer spring.  But the rifle will function without it.  It just makes disassembly/reassembly more of an adventure.
