I just got around to finishing my build, i am having issues with the detent spring for the take down pin near the buffer tube. The spring does not go in, seems like if the hole is smaller in diameter than the spring. Lower is PSA and so is the LPK.
I had the lower cerakoted but i scratched the shyt out of the hole with the roll pin and nothing, i just sent an email to PSA. What do you guys think i should do? This is holding the build, everything else is done.!! |

Thanks for the replies guys, i did put the spring in the wrong place, selector switch, easy fix though. Got it all good. Thanks for the help anyways!!! It happens. Did you do the "rear detent mod" also? great lil 5 min. mod , it basically captures the rear detent spring with a set screw, so if you change out stocks etc it wont go flying. |

The thread should be in the first couple pages. In it someone linked the items you need at amazon. I ordered 100 set screws for 4.00. Tap for 2.50,Allen wrench that came with more screws 3.00 and the tap holder for 7.00. (They have a cheaper one for 4.00.) I should have it all by Friday. A lot of lowers are coming pre-tapped now. Spikes and aero to name a few. I also like the trigger guard mod. |

Know your complete product description beforehand.... Unless you live out in the boonies, purchase the few items needed for this mod at your local hardware store. |
