Was out shooting today and started getting feeding problems, a double feed, to be exact. It looks like the little dingus that connects the magazine and the removable feed lip has fallen out. Anyone know where I can find one of these?

Bander,
Got one just like it. Spring is Broke

The factory dimple that locates in the hole showing has broke off.
Fix: A new (or old) spring. Or
Make a flat head pin that matches the hole in the magazine, step it down to fit through the hole in the spring, rivet the pin on the outside of the spring to fix in place. Blue it, or not. This fix should outlast your heirs.

Well, I found the little dingus inside the magazine box and peened it as well as I could back into place on the end of the spring. Thirty-five rounds later and it's still there, I guess I fixed it. Now I just need to get this safety issue settled and keep the Redfield rear sight from working loose and it ought to be good to go.
