Trigger Mike Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 A friend( an 18 year old) won a M16 lebel Berthier at a turkey shoot. We went to fire it and noticed the spring that brings the bullets up to the chamber is not functioning. Where can I get a replacement part and what is that part called? Can I replace it without replacing the entire magazine area? It is the 5 shot model and does hold the 5 round enbloc clip. A gunsmith has confirmed it is safe to use. It shoots a little high at 50 whcih I told him is normal for military rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
