    AR-15 help please

    Hi, first I want to let you know that I do not know the actual names for what I am trying to describe. In between the lower and the buttstock is this little spring that shot out after I was removing the buttstock and then I stepped on it on accident and smashed it in half. Now when I take the gun apart the pin is really loose and pops out on its own. What is this spring and where can I get one? BYW I have an M&P 15. Thank you.

      It's a detent spring and you ain't the first one to do it.

              Your probably missing the detent now also.

              Get a oh crap kit, or whatever they call it.

              All the springs and detents will be included.

              If you have local store close, check there

                            If you can find the detent, I have a spring and probably gonna be at the Range at 10am.
