I think magazine latch and sear spring. :bonk: Look on U tube to see how to put it back. Will it snap on an empty chamber ? I think it's on the front, behind the crossbar that locks in.

Look up a schematic and find the trigger spring or trigger bar spring. It's internal in the trigger group.

This could be the spring that fits into the stock that secures the trigger group... But, it seems a little long...

maybe you found the spring where the previous owner who did disassemble the trigger group and lost the spring put it in the weapon because he did not know where it came from either.....just a guess............

Warpig do you see a little hole in the bottom of the stock the spring will fit into ?
