I just took my FCG out for a good cleaning, and noticed the hammer J Spring was broken. Can these be replaced without buying a new hammer? Is it safe to fire without a J Spring? I have been shooting for many years and this is the first time I have ever seen this. I found the broken piece in the bottom of the action. G |
DPMS has the J spring. Its 40 cents. Be sure to install correctly.  I would not continue shooting with a broken J spring, your hammer pin will walk out of the receiver. www.dpmsinc.com/store/products/?prod=5197&cat=1799 |
Walk in the park, Use two punches, one on the bottom being back up, and another on the top to strike the spring. A few taps, then flip the hammer over and do the other side of the spring. |

Thanks for the info, I probably dont even need the spring since its being used with a set of KNS Pins on a 9mm carbine, and the hammer pin cant walk out. However, I cant stand knowing their is a missing piece. I have a spare hammer, but I think I will try to install the J Spring, I did notice it was flattened inside the little hole in the hammer. G |
