AR spring question

[RTDoug]

My selector lever has always seemed a bit too easy to move.

Tonite I was trial fitting a new pistol grip, and the hole for the selector spring is deeper, making the durned thing almost floppy.

What is the prescription for a longer or stiffer spring?

Regards

More cowbell?

are you sure you have not lost the detent?

 

[RTDoug]

No, detent is in there, checked that

 

[RTDoug]

Oh yeah, the new grip has a deeper hole too.

Fellers on arf.com would say, "non-milspec"?

I'd be inclined to think there may be some junk in the hole preventing the detent from fully engaging the stops on the selector, or that the spring is bad and needs replaced.
