Hello. I bought this stock a while back, and i installed it. But i didn't shoot it till a few months later.when i when to go load my hopper. the thing tilted over, and i realized that i had lost the spring that pushes the front sight up to keep the hopper connector (dunno wut its called) to stay up. I looked around for it and i can't find it. Does anyone know if i can find with spring in a store or online anywhere thx. im holding my hopper up with some wire. and it really makes the gun look ugly.

Your local piantball shop should have the spring. In the meantime, instead of wire, make sure the elbow is in it's upright position, pull the sight upward to latch the elbow in place, then turn the allen screw that goes thru the body at the sight tight enough to prevent the sight from being able to be pushed down. It'll do as a temporary solution til you get the new spring.
