Charging Handle Spring

[Strewthirwin]

Hi all!
My G&P M4's charging handle spring has worn out. I guess it was my enthusiasm at pretending to cock it. I was wondering if or where I could get a replacement, or maybe if there's a bodge job I could do.
Cheers
Gabe

A certain auction site has some madbull ones for £7 I believe

Ah, I see. Are you allowed to give me a clue or will the mods not allow it?

I'm not even kidding on this one, I had a friend replace my old one with a spring from a pen and it works perfectly! Just make sure its tight enough

I think my brother tried that before but that wore out pretty fast. Also I want the spring to be strong so it's really satisfying.

You could cut the spring down

That's a fair point mate! I might try that.

Re: Charging Handle Spring

Okay guys, to get a mad strength spring, I'm going bespoke (depending on price). Does anyone know the dimensions of a charging handle spring? And maybe the strength of the spring.
I know it's a long shot.

Funny you should ask this, I found a post on another forum regarding common hardware items that can be used. The charging handle spring is the following: Steel music wire extension springs, unplated with loop ends, 1.5" long, 7/32" OD, 0.023" Wire, Spring rate 1.2 lbs/inch.
