Buffer detent pin broke

[Straight Shooter]

Some of you guys are full of crap, if the buffer doesn't run against the buffer detente then how can you close the AR when it is put together? How can you open the AR without the buffer flying out? How do you explain the detente marks on the buffer? No some of you need to go back to GS class/school. Yes the buffer detente does and will stop the buffer and will break/bend the detente.

Thats a hell of an F-ED UP first post.

Mark, I don't remember if it was here or not but someone had a rifle busting pins because the hole was drilled too far forward. His buffer looked like a steel toothed badger chewed on it!! I doubt that is the OP's problem on his old SP1. He is probably one and done and we'll never see what stopped the rifle.

Yep.. just a fluke or something.

You've been around four years and this the best first post you can come up with? Maybe try reading some more (comprehension helps) and come back in another four years try again.

The tit was mangled & got wedged under the rear of the trigger—at least that’s where I found it after breaking things down. The buffer is a new H buffer I installed because I thought the original Colt carbine buffer must be evil—otherwise why would they sell H, H2, H3?

The original buffer looked barely used. The gun is quite cherry—a steal at $1500!

The first time I shot it, the gun locked up as the springs from the hammer weren’t seated in the trigger pin groove. My fault—I didn’t check. I assumed the gun was 100% from a fellow gun guy.

It was a used gun, the original owner said there was under 1000 M193 (National Guardsman, got ammo “free”).

Is there any benefit to the heavy duty HK or Lietner Wise detents?

In reading responses, I think not. I futzed around with the detent out—maybe that’s the easier answer vs a $20 souped up part.

Does anyone know if HK buffer retainer will even work in a regular AR?

[MSW]

I tried one & it doesn’t work. It sits too high & needs to be modified.
