You can get some from Brownells, 75 cents apiece (231-000-073) - and might even qualify for the small-order shipping fee. I would avoid GPSS for small parts as they are having some issues lately with delivering product.

Make sure you use the proper retaining pin, and not a regular cotter pin. The ones used in an AR are hargened steel, and standard pins are not.

I had read the same thing with those guys and last week took the chance with them.

Ordered 4 springs online and clicked the "cheap shipping option".

Paid with credit card for a total of like $4.00 or something.

About 4 days later, an envelope showed up with the springs and a receipt. Pretty good service.
