    Anyone have a Buffer Retainer Spring I can scab?

    Went to remove the stock on my AR15 last night and as I was twisting the buffer tube off my finger nail slipped and the buffer retainer and spring went flying. I found the retainer but no such luck on the spring. I'd really hate to have to use my credit card for a .99 part so if anyone has one they can throw into an envelope, I'd GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

      I lost one a year or so ago, and found one that works at osh hardware.

        OSH has a nice selection of springs. You don't need much just something strong enough keep the retainer up. Cut to length if its too long.

          If you still need one, PM me your address. I'm sure I have several around here somewhere.

            xfilterx: it is a simple spring. Take your detent with you to OSH or Ace.
            Find a spring that is 1" long and fits inside the detent and you're golden.

                BIC pen spring should work in a pinch too.
