[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Dust cover spring

Posted: 3/20/2015 10:47:51 PM EDT

I did a search but didnt find anything.
I just ordered this upper and noticed the dust cover spring seems to be too long. I looked at a stock photo from the company I ordered from and it show it the same way. Im thinking this will cause ejection problems. Can I just trim a little off that led of the spring?

FYI Don't trim it too much OP. It still needs to rest onto the lip a tad bit. I've seen them also come in too short, and they will flip around on you and loose their tension. Then the spring is trash.
