[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Bolt hold open detent spring

Posted: 9/1/2004 3:00:14 PM EDT

Anyone have a pic of one of these springs. I have been building a lower slowly this week and have opened my lower parts kit. I think that this spring was not included. I have 2 buffer detent springs, but don't see the spring for the bolt hold open detent.

The exploded parts diagrams I can find are not very detailed.

thanks!

There's the picture from the Lower Assembly Guide.

Not much I can tell you, except it's one of the smallest springs. Pretty short, and pretty thin.

here is a closeup.
Mine wouldnt fit in the hole.
luckily there is another type that is shorter, and not rounded that fit and worked in my build.
