Anyone can point me in the right direction to get some springs for all of the detentes in the lower part? Everything but the triggers.

Edit: Heck pistol grip washers and screws too

I have a similar situation and just want good quality front/rear take down pins with detents/springs, magazine catch spring and bolt catch with plunger/spring. Best I could find was separate parts from Damage Industries (https://damageindustriesllc.com/store/index.php?route=common/home), not sure on quality, for about $25. You have to type it in the search bar, but you can get individual springs and parts.

Or, for $30, this CMMG lower parts kit (https://www.brownells.com/gun-parts/rifle-parts/rifle-upper-lower-parts-kits/ar-15-lower-gunbuilders-lower-parts-kit/) that has:

Takedown pin
Receiver pivot pin
Takedown pin detent (2)
Takedown pin detent spring (2)
Hammer and trigger pin (2)
Safety selector
Selector detent
Magazine catch
Magazine catch spring
Magazine release button
bolt catch
Bolt catch plunger
Bolt catch spring
Bolt catch spring pin
Buffer retainer
Buffer retainer spring

JTF Consulting has a “build your own LPK” that is pretty handy. You can get extra springs and detents that are easily lost or damaged and leave out all the stuff you don’t need.

So you've been here since 2010 and apparently have never heard of Brownells?

Brownells charges a lot for individual parts and shipping is high unless you have their membership. JSE Surplus shipping starts at $4.

Brownells sells actual Colt springs and such and they are good for our community. I support them.

not me, they don't ship a lot of items to bans states. Such items include handguards and other such items which as you know, is ridiculous. I don't support companies that aid others who restrict our rights

White Oak Armament is another one. You can buy individual springs, detents, etc. The prices are good and shipping isn't bad.
