Spring For Mag Release Button

Duane · 12-13-2001, 06:15 PM

Mine went flying off into the depths of my carpet while I was taking my 20's commercial down for cleaning. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Duane, Yeah ,there's one at your house. Take a magnet and run it around on your carpet to find yours. The repros I've found aren't as good as the one you lost. I use a large magnet off the back of an old car speaker. I bet you can find it . I have lost many a gun part that one would think would be gone forever. But the magnet finds them every time.

This reminds me of a firing spring guide that is hiding in my living room. I heard it hit a lamp shade to my right but I found the guides spring to my left. Still lookin but I found 55 cents and the car keys to my old, long gone Horizon.

Duane,

I am sorry, but I had to laugh a little with your experience because I have done this so many times myself; What a bummer! I have even lost larger size screws and I have hardwood floors! The magnet idea sounds great, and if you don't find the part, send Tom Heller an e-mail to see if he has any. The repros are JUNK! They are not spring steel and don't work.

BIG NORM,

Just wait until you fire a mainspring guide through your living room window!

I believe the question was: "where could I find a replacement mag catch spring" The answer is---Tom Heller, Sarco, GunParts and some gun shows. Hope this helps you Duane.
