RS selector spring and detent

[cav.]

Hay guys, so I had a rs selector detent and spring lying around, was going to pop it into my WE M4 CQBR, but noticed the detent pivot is shorter than the real one, so after installing it, it would be super loose I guess the detent doesn't really engage the fire selector...does that mean I need a real selector?

A RS selector, detent, and detent spring will all work. You may need to cut file down the detent if the detent spring is too long/stiff. I found that using a RS fire selector works the best as it gives a nice stiff click, as oppose to the WE where it wiggles a bit. This is because RS detents are more conical in shape (more secure when it clicks into the hole on the selector), as opposed to the WE detents which are more rounded.
