lost spring replacement

cloves · March 15th, 2009, 16:08

So it would seem i've lost the spring out of an AK front set. (the one that the metal rod that connects to the button that holds the top cover on)
I've heard you can replace them with the springs from ball point pens. However after tearing apart a few pens around my house...none seem to fit.
Any ideas?

i actually lost that spring too and used a ball pen spring, you just have to crush one end of the spring so the rod does not go right trough.

go to your local hardware store there is alway a big cabinet full of all the springs you can imagine, you could probably find sonething there...
