Hello all,
I'm assembling my third lower and I think the Disconnector Spring is too long. The LPK is a Stag, the lower is a Spikes Tactical. I have compared the Stag kit to a ArmaLite kit that I have, and the Stag Disconnector spring is 1 1/2 coils longer. I have identified the springs correctly, and here's a picture of the two. L-R: Stag Bolt Catch, Stag Disconnector, ArmaLite Disconnector, ArmaLite Bolt Catch http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/9835/img7788nz7.jpg Should I cut a coil off of the Stag spring, or just order a new one? When I function check, the hammer is not catching the disconnector, and I have trigger slap. Thanks, kbailey3 |

It looks like the shorter one has thicker coils than the longer one, so they may be about the same strength.
Did you install it and perform a safety check? It looks like it would work just fine. Different kits are made by different companies and there will be small differences. Edit: I missed the last two lines of your post  .
The poster below has the same question I would have asked. |

Thanks for the replies,
I installed the spring with the wide end down, and function checked it. That's when I noticed the trigger slap due to the disconnector not moving to engage the hammer. After a little play, I was able to squish the spring enough that the rifle function checked perfectly. I didn't cut the spring. It just took some break-in to work. Thanks, kbailey3 |
