xbarnburner@gmail.com Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 In early June I asked about a DPMS GII Recon dust cover. The dust cover rod shifted forward after about 10 rounds and the cover spring came off. I have reinstalled the rod with the spring but cannot see how the rod is retained within the housing. I know many other ARs have a C clip to keep the rod in place. I don't see how it's done on a DPMS GII Recon. Anyone have information on how to keep the rod stationary? I do not see a place for a clip and haven't found a Youtube video that addresses this issue. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Ejection port door different on the G2 than on other .308ARs? Same width and height? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgriff Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 The G2 Recon port cover rod should have a groove towards the center of the rod, The groove is offset from center and the rod is directional. The C-clip installs next to the spring in the cut-out area of the cover. The G2 covers had some issues. If correctly installed, and the rod can still move far enough to disengage, a ferrule spacer can be installed over the rod between the C-clip and the port cover opening.
