Pro2AInPA Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 When I pushed in on the tab holding in the magazine spring retainer today, the tab broke off. Right now, I have the spring back in the tube with the magazine cap holding the spring in. I sent an email to FN tech support requesting a new retainer. The question is - do you guys think the gun will function with the cap holding the spring in? I need the shotgun for a match on Friday, so I'm just wondering in case FN doesn't get me a replacement retainer in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPR1 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 It should... the retainer is just a convenience for takedown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 The retainer is unnecessary. Like said prior......a convenience for takedown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnewell Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Agree with those above but FYI/FWIW I ordered a spare from Brownells so I'll have one on hand for that foreseeable occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro2AInPA Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Thanks guys, that's kind of what I figured but I thought I'd check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBinOC Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I did the same thing with mine but I can find a replacement. How are you looking that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
