Found A Guy

Post by 1913Model8 »

Hi Guys, Just talked with a guy on Ebay that makes new Recoil spring for the barrel assembly. He is also working on perfecting the bolt recoil spring too. He also can repair damaged bolt carriers where the extractor grooves have broken through.
Name on Ebay is afsllc.

Hope this can help someone down the road.

It's been a great streak of meeting the right people! I also scored 3 stripper clips!

Update here. I ended up buying a new spring from the gunsmith on ebay. As suspected the original spring was cut or broken by 1.5" I can say the new springs are well made and have nice finished ends to them. Highly recommend replacing your worn out springs with these well made new ones. Also again he is working on making replacements for the bolt recoil spring also.
