Dead Eye Dox Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 On my AR-10 build, I have ran into a problem. My rear takedown pin's detent pin and spring enter from the rear of the lower receiver instead of from under the receiver next to the safety detent pin and spring. PROBLEM: spring is too short; therefore, it cannot keep the pin in place. Do they make a longer spring for the AR-10? If not, how do I resolve this...add another spring into the rear channel? Recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 There are some solutions for this problem in a thread under the Matrix section. I remember two of the solutions, add a chunk of coat hanger wire to take up the space or thread the hole for a set screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
