Hi guys, need some help.  I purchased a LPK, I layed everything out to compare it to the assembly guide here and turns out I am missing a spring.  I narrowed it to two springs:
Buffer Retainer Spring - second largest spring in the kit.
Magazine Catch Spring - this is the largest spring in the kit.
Without the other spring, I have nothing to compare it to so i don't know if it's the largest or second largest spring.  Can someone help me on identifying this spring.  Thanks in advance.

Which spring does it look like in this picture, having trouble understanding your question tbh.

it looks like the bottom two springs in your picture.  According to my picture, it is 1 1/8 inch in length and about 5/16 inch wide

The one to the bottom right would be the magazine catch spring im pretty sure.
This is a good schematic to go off of.

Gotcha, still early and I couldn't figure out where it went in a LPK.

That little blue one will not be located in an LPK.
