Glad to hear you got it going again Lanny.
I'll take a look at my stuff and see if there's side to side play with the spring as you describe. Hasn't been an issue yet...and they've got 1000's of rounds down them so far.
On another note...Todd (WarChild7, owner of The War Store) posted
THIS. A lot of the NYAL guys have been breaking/wearing out their knocker reset/delay/whatever unit...it's part #66.
As a fix for this part, Todd's group has been making runs of Part #66 in CNC Tool Steel (I think it's called Uber Part #66 on his site). I have three of them so far...one for a SCAR, one for my M4 and one spare for whatever comes along later.
They are extremely nicely made pieces. Very uniform (although you'd kind of expect that with CNC...it shows that they've got their setup right and the parts are coming out on spec).
I can manually mill steel...but I'd really not want to make this piece...at the price he's selling it for, it's a great value.
