AR Part??

[Charlie]

I found this in the bottom of my gun bag. Don't know where it came from. Possibly from my AR. It's about 1.5 inches long, appx. 1/16" thick x 1/8"wide and has a spring that slides over the longer part and rests on the shoulder near the top. I've checked with my AR friends that have built many and they don't recognize it. The spring slides over the longer curved part and rests against the "shoulder". Anybody got any ideas? May be part of a trigger group just not necessarily for an AR. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely not from an AR-15 as far as I know

Agree

That's what I'm hearing from my friends that have built ARs, but if not, then there's another mechanism from possibly another gun that needs a part.

 

[Charlie]

Well, it's good to know. My AR is working great but now I have to figure out what it goes to.

 

[Charlie]

Thanks for the help and the confirmation of the info I've gotten so far.

It could have been in the bag for a long time and I just never saw it before, but all my guns seem to work fine. Oh well!

It's from a revolver. That's the connecting link between a spring and the hammer. The round end go's into the hammer. A spring go's on bottom and slides up to the two protrusions. As the hammer comes back, that link slides down into hole on a rectangle shaped plate. Which also is a stop for the spring. The round head is round because of the angles the receiving notch in the hammer makes.

That makes some good sense. Thanks!

Not a revolver. A semi auto. S&W? Older generation? Hell, maybe a ruger revolver?

 

[Charlie]

Thanks! What bothers me is that I've not taken any revolvers apart that I know of. And all mine work fine! It's a mystery.

yeah, definitely a hammer spring strut. Not sure if it's from revolver or semi-auto, most likely semi-auto.

Edit: Did you happen to have a Lionheart semi-auto?

More like you've taken so much stuff apart, wheeled and deal. You lost some stuff in a junk drawer. I have stuff out Browning shotguns. Other crap out Remington. Some Ruger.

I couldn't tell you where half the $hit come from. All I know is the Golden rule. Anything gun parts, broken or good are never thrown away.

Nope! I don't take anything apart unless I have an experienced friend with me. And I make sure the weapon works as designed immediately upon re-assembly. Trial and error is a definite way to learn but it's the hardest way!

Then where the part come from and why would you confuse it with other parts?

Forgot about them! Those suckers must have come down here and dropped that part in my bag when I wasn't looking!

 

[Charlie]

I'll check all my handguns tomorrow and make sure they still function properly.

And I never take one apart in the field! That's where the bag goes but no disassembly is allowed in the field.

Lolololol, you're cut off.

I'm just wondering if it's been there since July, 1947.
