Texas Weapon Systems Guide Wire and Spring Retainer, 6in, AK-47 Top Cover

The Texas Weapon Systems Guide Wire and Spring Retainer (TWS part no. 55315) is a 6-inch replacement part built for AK-47 top covers, specifically for the guide wire and spring assembly that keeps a top cover seated and under tension. This small but essential component wears or gets lost during cleaning and disassembly more often than most AK owners expect, and having a direct-fit replacement on hand keeps a rifle’s top cover running correctly rather than rattling loose. It’s built to Texas Weapon Systems’ standard fit and finish for AK-pattern rifles.
