If you just heard a high speed projectile whizzing by followed by a long creative string of cursing.....that was probably my pivot detent!

I was wondering what that was. I think it bounced somewhere over by my TV.

i got some spares if you need them i had the same problem

[ray1970]

I have a pretty good track record for finding things like this when they shoot loose inside my living room. The garage on the other hand.... well, I am still looking for a spring and a needle for my airbrush.

Until you have this happen you aren't a certified AR builder

A little kink in a spring will cure that problem.

Thanks for the offers, after looking around for 20 min I found the spring in my living room and the detent itself had somehow ricocheted off of a couple things and bounced onto my couch.

Until you know how to stop this from happening, you aren't a certified AR builder.

You guys bend the spring to keep it from happening? I've always just used a razor, but was too lazy to go get one this time. (Yeah, in retrospect the 2 minutes I saved going to the garage weren't worth it )

I keep a set of those gap gauges in the workbench. The come in handy for a lot of things.
