    GSG-522 Spring?

    Anyone know where I can find a spring for the bolt hold open catch for a GSG-522. Mine fell out and I've been unable to locate it.

    I've tried searching on line, but no luck so far.

    Test out their customer service and see if they won't send you one

        I called ATI but just got voicemail. Waiting very impatiently for a response.

        I haven't even shot this one yet. I took it down to clean it and the spring fell out. The kitten pounded on it when it hit the floor, but I took it away from her and set it on the table. Went to answer the door and when I came back the spring was gone. A kitten is starting to come very close to using one of her 9 lives.

          ***Update***

          Looks like I found a spring in my AR first aid kit that will do the job until I can get the right one.

          Going to test it tomorrow.

                It was either the bolt catch spring or the magazine catch spring, I don't remember which one I ended up using. Both are close to the same size.
