I need a bolt catch spring and plunger. Somehow, my dumb ass forgot to put it in when I was building my lower and just today after shooting, I noticed it missing. I know I can get these small parts from practically anywhere, but I know they'll rape me on the shipping. Other than ordering something else to make shipping worth it, is there anything else I can do? Thx

I would check Midway––-pick up an extra mag or 2 to meet the $25 minimum––check the USPS option for shipping––out the door for $30 or so––-your needed parts and a couple more mags––––everybody always needs more mags––-right??

I use Midway a lot for small parts.  The nice thing is you know from the start if it is in stock.  They are fast and you can use USPS.

However, I did an order with RRA last week.  I bought 50 springs and detents @ .50 each.  That one part was $1.19 each at Midway.  They shipped it pretty quick by UPS.  Now I don't know if I got lucky on this one, but there was no shipping charge.
My total order for the 50 springs/detents, a delta ring assembly, a carbine gas tube and two gas tube roll pins was $48.

Over all individual lower parts are cheaper at RRA than they are at Midway for DPMS.

I ordered a spring from RRA and it cost me all of .90 with shipping so just shop around.
