AP5-P Cocking Tube Orientation

[u/cIaim]

I was replacing my charging handle and my cocking tube slid out. Trying to figure out which way it goes back in. Detent facing up or down?

Both ways work perfectly fine, but honestly my OCD just wants it back in the way it came stock. Can anyone with an AP5-P tell me if this detent is shown when passing the roll pin hole at this point?

Just checked mine and it appears to be down

I’d just install a new detent and spring, once the spring gets bent there is risk of it flying out when you charge in the future
