survivalshop Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Was there a Buffer in there with the spring ( Bolt Catch Buffer ) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Are you talking about the little blk plunger if so yes it was. I also checked for burs and it was clear of anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Can you get a pic of that spring, next to a ruler or tape measure? Hard to tell what it really is, could even be a front sight post spring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 That would be strange since it came from an lpk I'll see if i can find a ruler I'll have to take it back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 With the bolt catch working & then going limp , sounds like the Buffer is sticking in the hole bore or its possible the hole is bored to long & the spring is hanging up some where in the hole & then slipping down to lose spring pressure or its not the right spring .

Cali_Ed Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I had a hard time taking the little black plunger out when i finally angled to remove the bolt catch pin. So I'm guess it got stuck like you mentioned. For now it seems to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
