Ak47 buttstock spring help!

[Drahcir]

I have a parts kit that's missing the spring in the buttstock for the cleaning kit, so the kit just slides back and forth in the stock. Anyone know where to get a replacement? I've been googling for a while to no avail. I appreciate any help guys.

Thanks.

Desert Fox sales may have them.

Also try KVAR and A-OK sales.

Go to the hardware store and buy a spring loaded toilet paper keeper. Take the spring out and cut to fit.

Thanks a lot. That's exactly what I'll do.

Googling, I found that kvar had them like 69mach1 said, but when I went to the site the sites got a message saying no more orders.

I appreciate the alternative fix.

Ace Hardware has springs that work.

I ended up using the spring out of a toy plastic bb gun one of the neighbor kids broke. The toilet paper spring looked identical to the original in my neighbors ak, but didn't fit right and the cleaning kit kept getting stuck. The diameter of the toy gun spring was too small to keep the spring from moving, but the tension's excellent.
