I bent mine up while I was putting the buffer tube on. Would anyone have one lying around in their parts kit? I don't feel like paying 6 dollars in shipping from midway for a $2 spring. :doh:

the other 'fix' you can do is thread the hole where the spring goes, and put a small set-screw in there. Turns that little spring into a captive unit.

I've got 19 screws left from the pack of 20 I bought, if you want one.
