    I bought a Dboys SPR (second hand). Everything is perfect except the rear sight wont stay down(they're supposed to be foldable). I've taken it off as I'm getting a scope anyway but I'd like to be able to keep it on. Right under where i think its supposed to clip back there was a little spring not connected to anything. Has anyone here experienced a problem like this before???

    you have yo pull back the spring and close the sight down, then the spring locks onto the sight to hold it down.,

    There's a groove milled into one side of the sight. The armature is on a spring, pull it back and push the sight into the down position, then released the armature. If it doesn't enter the groove by itself, give it a push and it'll click into place.

    The spring is part of the armature assembly, it rotates backwards under pressure or forwards under the power of the spring.

    You might have to put up a picture of it, I'm not fully sure what you mean by wedged. Is it damaged?
