While doing my first thorough cleaning of my AR, this part came out. I cannot get the tiny spring seated into the slot in the piece to its left. Any ideas on how to proceed:
Thanks. |

I've not had this issue before, so proceed with caution if you take my advice. The spring obviously sits in the recess at the top of the extractor. I believe its held in simply by friction. Either you're putting it in upside down or the O-ring has shifted and is preventing the spring from going to the full depth down and getting a good friction fit. Try moving the O-ring around and getting the spring deeper into the recess. Another thought is that a lot of ARs don't have an O-ring; you may want to try removing it completely and see if you even need it. |
