Numrich Gun Parts Corp. still lists the mainspring tube. Springs are available also. The tube cap and buffer assembly and follower are hard to find. Joseph Scott may have them.

How do you remove the cap from the mainspring tube? It looks simple enough for a caveman to do, but I just can't get it loose. Any tips?

Thanks Tom!! I have some PB Blaster soaking the area so hopefully some will get in to work its magic.

you can try bolt buster on the threads ,let it soak a while that should work. they are hard to get off sometimes.
