13, total, I think: ----------------------------- Recoil buffer spring Extractor spring (Do NOT try to disassemble the bolt to the point where you can remove the extractor spring!!) Magazine follower spring Hammer spring Fire selector assembly spring Trigger return spring Magazine release assembly spring Bolt hold-open assembly spring Front sight post detent assembly spring There may be one in the rear sight assembly, but I can't be sure. Trapdoor catch spring (keeps buttstock trapdoor closed) There is a leaf spring in the ring that secures the handguards and one in the flip sight portion of the rear sight.
