Selector

Before you go clipping springs (too late) and drilling holes:

a) Make sure you still have the safety detent in place.

Quite often people like to change their pistol grips as often as they change their socks with every type of grip imaginable available these days. When people pull their PG to change them out the detent usually stays in the lower receiver detent hole. Many are not familiar with that little detent that all too often hides in the hole only to fall out when you are not paying attention then notice something isn't right when they put it together and have problems flipping the selector or the selector falls out. The detent along with spring pressure is what holds the selector in place with AR's and the XCR. Having only the spring minus the detent will work and retain the selector switch in place but as you rotate it the spring end will bind up and get mangled.

b) If your detent isn't MIA I recommend putting A LITTLE dab of grease in the slot of the selector switch where the detent goes.Not to the point that grease oozes from around the selector. Just a dab in da dimples.


c) While you are at it check your detent spring because all too often they sorta get mangled at one end. If it is flip it over and make sure the good end is up, or should I say, the good end pressed up against the detent.

See the attached parts diagram of an AR which shows where and what the detent looks like near the bottom of the diagram/pistol grip area. They are identical, but not sure if the AR detent is exactly the same as the XCR. I magine that they are.
