THanks. Definitely don't see that spring anywhere...hopefully it's still in there.CMMG Buffer Retainer Parts Kit AR-15, LR-308
This CMMG Buffer Retainer Kit is fully compatible with any mil-spec AR-15. CMMG factory parts are a great choice for any new AR build, or for fixing up...www.midwayusa.com
The only way for it to fly out is for buffer tube to rotate. It can only rotate if castle nut gets loose - with a carbine tube.Just watched a quick youtube video...I see exactly what it is now. Thakns for the info guys.
Nice find…peekaboo

I didn't realize there were ones that didn't have that notch. I'm sitting here wondering how the hell the buffer tube rotated while that piece was in the notch.My favorite way to prevent all of this is to use a buffer tube that has a notch cut out for the retainer. That prevents rotation and ensures that the buffer is screwed in all of the way. No staking necessary.
I'm all ears on this one, please educate me.I’m not sure how much use you have on your rifle but I recommend you change your fire control group pins every now and then. When they fail it creates really unsafe situation.
Damaged pins or loose fitting one can cause you rifle to discharge random.. Sometimes without even touching it. Also even a slight bump will set it off… If that isn’t bad enough they have a tendency to spit out bursts.I'm all ears on this one, please educate me.

possible, but a rather difficult thing to do. usually it sits in a very distinctive position covering half of that retainer. odd.Guessing that tube wasn't turned in far enough, that the buffer retaininer wasn't truly captured.
Most buffer tubes do not come with the notch. I don't believe the OP had one with the notch. I'm not sure if we are referring to the same thing. The one below is what I am referring to:I didn't realize there were ones that didn't have that notch.

Just my .02Damaged pins or loose fitting one can cause you rifle to discharge random.. Sometimes without even touching it. Also even a slight bump will set it off… If that isn’t bad enough already have a tendency to spit out bursts.
Broken pins can obviously lead to safe issues… But even pin that walks it’s way out of a hole.can do some interesting things…
Just as an example 9 mm uppers are extremely hard on the lower. It’s pretty common if it’s not set up properly for it to break the pins.
It’s also possible to buy substandard parts or just get a defective one Theyll break in any setup he set up…
Not she didn’t happen a few times with my own set ups. I’ve also seen other people experience this. That’s why you always make sure your rifle clear before before you go down range. And obviously no one should be handling weapons when you’re down range

i think the buffer tube got unscrewed, somehow - on purpose, or got loose.
Careful with picking up extra parts, they can lead to building extra AR's. Ask me how I know.Pick up one of those O shit parts kits , they come in handy
