After breaking down my gun, I found this spring on the floor. Did it come from my gun? Everything seems to be functioning properly.

B. Most AR springs do not have a curve to them. C. Details man, it is all in the detail. |
| The type of gun is an ar15. I took the upper off, removed the charging handle and bcg, then reinstalled. I then noticed the spring on the floor by my feet, which has me inclined to believe that it came out of the gun. Although it is possible that the spring came from something else. Thanks for the reply. |

Quoted: Did your buffer detent and spring fall out? There's not a lot springs in an AR, just go through and make sure they're all there. Buffer detent spring is way bigger than that. Also the AR has a lot more springs than you think. Ejector Extractor Charging handle Take down pin Pivot pin Selector Hammer Trigger Disconnector Mag release Forward assist Forward assist pivot arm Buffer detent Bolt catch Spring inside trigger guard Buffer Spring inside stock release Delta ring Dust cover Front sight post Multiple springs in the rear sight of an A2 upper Did I miss any? |

Thanks for the reply. I will bet you and all the others repliers a bottle Of Asbach Uralt brandy that spring did not come from an AR 15. No piling on, only timestamps between my first and second posts need apply. |

No way that is from an AR (unless part of some add-on accessory) The closest spring to that size is the buffer retainer spring and that is bigger than the one pictured. |
