Spent 15 minutes looking for the micro C clip for the dust cover last night!!! Well, my floor is super clean now. Luckily I found it.

Takedown detent spring?

The detent itself also tends to disappear into thin air after it flies about 10 feet. Glad I spent the money on the tool to install the pivot pin after trying to build a few lowers without it...think I spent as much for the extra detents and springs.

Maybe it?s luck or maybe it?s a habit of being extra careful with everything I do but I?ve never had small springs and pins go sailing on me.

But, because I know it happens, I have plenty of spare pins, springs, and e-clips in stock. Just in case.

Local hardware store, IIR they're 4 mm e clips. About $3 for a 5 pack

Detent tool. Like this one for $0.60? Hand the extras out to friends or fellow shooters
