BLASTER74 0 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Does anyone know where i can find a replacement detent pin and spring for my gas block ? It seems that they vanished while i was cleaning my gun and have not been able to locate them as of yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAldrich2008 28 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 You can use a spring from a clicky pen, I'm not sure about the pin though. Seems like you could make one out of a drill bit, but I'm sure other people will chime i with better ideas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BLASTER74 0 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Found the pin but still looking for the spring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAldrich2008 28 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Found the pin but still looking for the spring. Perfect. Just find a pen to destroy and you'll be all set. It'll be a bit softer than the original spring though... I like it because it makes my gas plug easer to adjust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never would have thought about using a ballpoint pen spring. Thumbs up to you, sir! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
