Ok,
I have a S&W M&P 15 AR. I bought it back in November of 2008, it is a flat top. Round Count is between 800-1000 rounds, tops. I have had issues with it lately chopping up the buffer detent spring, and the buffer detent pin is coming out and laying loose in either the upper or lower when I dissasemble the gun. I have bought 2 replacement pins and springs from Brownells, Colt and DPMS. Both of them had the same thing happen, it chops them up. It bent the DPMS spring, and chopped the Colt spring in two, literally. I dont have the Colt springs anymore, they got lost the other night, but I could use some help on this. The only mods to the gun that I have done from factory is a MagPul trigger guard, and a Single Point Attachment. The castle nut is locked tight and there is no play in the buffer tube. Any help on this would be appreciated. I am gonna call S&W tomorrow, and see what they have to say, but I am at a loss as to what the F@$% is going on. Thanks in advance.
