| I bought my AR lower yesterday and started installing the parts this morning. Everything was going well and then the takedown pin detent flew out hat |
You're best bet is to order sevel detent springs, buffer tube retainer springs, HD extractor srings, a couple extra detents and a few extra roll pins all at once. It never hurts to have a few spares on hand for situations like this. Put together an bigger order an the shipping won't seem so bad

I looked through my parts and that's the one small thing I don't have laying around or I'd be happy to send one to ya. But, a tip I learned is to keep any spring-loaded detent, ball or part pointed into a grocery bag while I work. It's saved me many small parts and hours of frustration...because they do fly out. I still have a busted shop light from a 1911 guide rod accident. Zoom, pow, broken glass.

I've heard that if you call Del-ton they can reduce shipping for small parts like that, you should give it a shot. Since I like to have extra parts around, I bought an extra LPK, springs and field repair kit. I hate getting stopped in my tracks just because I lost a small part...plus it gives me one more reason to build another rifle
