Will_M Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Where the heck are the springs for the feed latch supposed to go? I took a friend's gun apart and the springs popped out before I could get a good look at it. I thought they went around the post that the bolt release went in to but it doesn't feel right and the springs fit through the hole in the receiver.

theKenny Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 They go on the other end of the latch. When the latch is installed they fit between the latch and the frame on the trigger end of the latch. hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowashooter Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Kenny is right if you lay the reciever on its side ejection port down the springs stand on end at the rear of the latch towards the trigger guard there is a ledge stamped into the latch that kind of hold them in place. Let me know if you need a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMarshall Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I did the very same thing when I first took mine apart and I got the answer with a picture right in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
