Benelli M4 Carrier Comp Spring

[b1oodgroove]

Hey now,

I ordered the full length spring from Carrier Comp:

http://shop.carriercomp.com/product.sc?productId=1

Does this qualify as a 922r compliant part?

Does anyone have a trick for removing/reinserting the spring retaining plug if you don't have snap ring pliers? The manual says use the charging handle but I am not seeing how its done.

Thanks! b1

Magazine spring is not in the list of recognized import parts. The tube and follower count as 2 parts though. Snap ring pliers are cheap and easier but you could probably do it with needle nose pliers.
