Building a Stag Lower with Stag LPK.
All was fine until I tried to put the Take Down Detent Spring in but it won't fit. The detent goes in fine but I can't even get the spring started. The spring doesn't seem deformed or have the ends bent out to cause a problem and everything is lubed but no go. I took a 3/32 drill bit and by hand tried to clean out the hole but no improvement. Tried to call Stag but as luck would have it I was 15 minutes after closing time. The next size drill bit is 7/64 which will not go in the hole. Should I use it and drill out the hole? Any ideas are appreciated! |

BINGO
That was it. The Take Down Detent Spring is about .013 small in diameter and fits fine. I didn't look at the two springs closely enough and thought they were the same size. Just before you answered I thought I should take it apart and look at the other spring but hadn't done it yet. Thanks very much! |

I did what I though was helpful, not. I printed out a picture of all the LPK parts with labels. I probably got it at the top of the forum. The two springs and detents were grouped together which is why I jumped to the conclusion that they were the same.
A second LPK is ordered so hopefully I'll remember next time.
