Tapco 20rd springs - parts
« on: February 22, 2021, 11:57:56 PM »
Anyone know where to get parts for the tapco 20's? Friend of mine is looking for spare springs, followers, floor plates.... whatever. Think the springs are primary focus. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tapco was bought up and shut down, so finding springs specific to them is going to be tough.  Maybe some 20rd AK mag springs can be used, but probably will mean buying 20 rd mags because the only springs I know of are for 30s.
Experience is the hardest kind of teacher, it gives the test 1st and the lesson after.

Courage is knowing it may hurt and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same.
This is why life is so hard.

Might try Wolff Springs and see what they recommend. You could buy 30rnd AK mag springs and cut them to length.
