I hate making threads like this.. Wait no I don't..
Anyone know where I can buy just the "Takedown Pin Detent Spring." Mine was damaged by me, because I'm dumb. I would rather not buy a whole new LPK. 
^^ this thing I live on the lower side. I was thinking texas tac or sog? |

I went to SOG for one of those springs I lost, the safety detent spring I think?...been a while since I was built the lower, can't remember which one I lost. Anyway, I have a friend who works there who probably would have given it to me, but he was not working that day. I was charged something in the $7-10 range for one spring. Another place sold me the wrong spring for $7 something. One place GAVE me a spring but it was the wrong one too.
You can get AR-15 spring replacement kits for $8-10 bucks such as: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ARR324-7.html So I have the 2 springs that weren't the ones I needed (the one I paid for and the one that was given to me)...if it is the spring you need, I'd be more than willing to give you one. They are at home and I am not 100% which springs they were...so I'll have to check when I get home today. If it was the selector detent I lost, that means the ones they mistakenly sold/gave me were the takedown pivot pin springs. |

 Do you want to get rich selling springs?

I usually buy a few springs, detents and other lower part goodies with every order at Brownells. I stay right around $10 of small parts to every order, now I have box of all the little goodies to build a lower, loose a spring/detent no big deal just grab another. |

I have some. I am North of Tomball about 5 miles.
email me at [email protected] and we can figure out a time to meet and I can get em to you. If you have a name of a good tree guy that would be awesome as a trade |

After you get the spring you must do this simple mod:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/395777_Simple_fix_for_the_rear_takedown_detent_spring_blues____.html I have a tap and die set and some extra set screws if you need them. |
