[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 984288, member: 229"] Sounds like the takedown pin spring (and you might be missing the takedown pin detent). If you lean the rifle forward (with the takedown pin installed) and slap the side (to make sure the detent falls forward if its still in there) can you still pull the takedown pin all the way out? If so, you might want to start looking for a tiny detent that's laying around (or order a new one cause that's a needle in a haystack problem :D). I don't know what could have caused your original problem unless your stock (I presume its a carbine stock) wasn't screwed in all the way and the buffer retainer was getting into the buffer spring coils. Here's a breakdown of the parts I'm talking about (I'll let you click the link so as not to make this thread too hard to read - its a big pic): [url]http://www.recguns.com/Pictures/Images/Xm15Diagram.gif[/url] [/QUOTE]
