OK, I installed my first LPK yesterday. I have a Sun Devil Billett lower, and I used a RRA LPK. All the parts were easily identifiable using the post on this website for "Installing an LPK for dummies", except for 2 of the springs. The 2 springs in question are the small, short ones, the Bolt Catch Spring, and the Disconnector Spring. In my parts kit, the 2 springs I received are described as follows:
1. This is the longer of the 2 springs (longer by just a 1/16 or so) and the 2 ends of the spring are identical (same diameter). 2. This is the shorter of the 2 springs (again, by just a 1/16 or so) and this spring has one end with a slightly larger diameter than the other end. Spring #1 would fit in either hole for the Bolt Catch, or the Disconnector. Spring #2 (because it has a wider diameter on one end) would not fit in the Bolt Catch hole (at least the wider end would not). Spring #2 would fit in the Disconnector hole as long as I put the "thinner" end in first. I hope I installed them correctly. Let me know. Thanks. |

Spring two is the disconnector spring & the larger "flared" end seats in the rear of the trigger under the disconnector. You just have to push it in well & make sure it seats evenly. It will go though. |

Dammit, well I guess I need to "flip" the Disconnector spring so that the "flared" end is in the bottom of the hole. It would have been nice if the post on "installing a LPK for dummies" had this particular instruction included. Thanks.
i said the same thing... i looked at it and reinstalled it twice before i realized how much better it worked with the flared end down.... |
