THanks everyone for your help. I really appreciate it.
First of all, I fixed the problem with the hammer not firing. I never meant to say that it wasnt recocking, but just when it was cocked and I pulled the trigger, the hammer wouldnt move. Well what I did wrong was I put the hammer spring on the "back" side of the hammer, thus causing it to not operate as a spring. I had to take it out, and put the "U" portion in front of the hammer with the legs going over the trigger assembly and all was well after that.
As for the springs, before I even started, I made sure I had all the parts lined up properly according to the parts picture in the thread atop this forum.
I am sure the spring is the proper one, but has anyone ever heard of a lower getting drilled to far?
I mean i thought these where mil spec and shouldnt have problems like that. Anyway, someone said that I should just get another detent, so I think that is what I will try.
As for the stock. Please refer to this thread
www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=8&f=11&t=200738 and that is the picture of my stock and lower. It has been built already and looks different, but is the buffer tube on this one a seperate part of the stock, or is it the stock itself? Also in what order do the buffer spring and buffer go in? Thanks
