Oh been there, done that with the disappearing spring issue. Took off the stock on my Colt Sporter II and lost the detent and spring for the takedown pin. Eventually found the spring after a LONG search but the detent is still in the wild. Had to buy a new set from Brownells. I'll probably shoot the carbine first and then just so I know they are good, replace the springs since they're cheap enough.
The ammo I actually found plenty of at my LGS, North Shore Firearms in Middleton. Brass cased FMJ Armscor for $23 or $24. They had a couple of other brands too for a buck or so more. Grabbed some as soon as I saw it so I'd be ready when the gun arrived.
Sounds like mags won't be an issue at all, great! Thanks guys. I'll try to post a pic or two when it arrives. I keep refreshing the UPS tracking window in the meantime.
