AR extraction spring assembly question

[K_4c]

I've never had to replace the extraction spring in any of my ar's but I've decided to replace all of them with new springs and D-fender rings. My question is....

How do you assemble the spring into the extraction tab??? I feel dumb for asking this easy question, but I wanna make sure that I'm doing this right.

Thanks for any advice given.

Re: AR extraction spring assembly question

If you are using an insert, install that into the spring(fat end into fat end of the spring) The fat end goes into the extractor cut out. Generally, you work it into the cut out and press down with finger pressure and it will "snap" in. If it's a hard case, use a samll screwdriver to press it in.

Normally you use a black insert for the carbines and blue for rifles. The Defender ring or O ring addition may not be necessary. Put it all in and test it out. Some have had feed issues to where the ring coupled with a strong spring causing problems by not allowing the extractor to snap over the rim.
