Made a noob mistake

[bigo334]

So I had my stock and buffer tube and so on off of my ar the other day and some how damaged my pivot detent spring. Go me! Now it is a little shaky and I was was wondering. Where is the best place to get a spring kit just In case it happens again and to replace the one I damaged. Should I go Internet or local? I prefer local (east side) if possible.

Bradis may have it, they saved my butt when I lost the gas tube roll pin mid-build.

THIS

Worked like a charm. (Full disclosure, I used an old Zippo spring, but a rose by any other name )
