M4 Fire selector switch

[RostokMcSpoons]

I've managed to lose the detent spring from my Double Eagle M906C selector switch.  I don't suppose I'll find the spec of the spring I need, so I might as well buy a new selector switch with hopefully a better, more positive, detent.

Here's what I'm replacing...

Anyone got a good recommendation?  A lot of the ones I've found on t'web either don't have the through-hole for the screw, or don't show the detent ball + spring to give me confidence they're included!

Is it an ambi selector?

Are you a lefty?

if the answers are yes, no, in this order, then fuck off all the gimmick ambi selector cogs and install a regular switch. I believe all of them come with detent + spring

Yes

No

I could do that, indeed. 

Good ol' Ak2m4 is digging out some tiny springs for me, so I might well get the this one working though.

I definitely see merit in ditching the ambi selector - it adds some rattle and slack to the system that I could do without.

it adds some rattle and slack very flimsy, unnecessary parts to the system that I everyone could do without.

FTFY.

Ambi selectors are shit on V2 based guns, it's just the way the gearbox is set up. If it was a V3 you would have had a very, very sturdy ambidextrous selector mechanism.
