Replacing Hold Open Latch Spring

FNorm · 10-01-2009, 02:38 PM

I have little trouble with hold opens. First make sure the groove in the frame is clean and lightly oiled. Same with the H-O spring. Holding the gun with L. hand. H-O cross piece in rt. hand. I place the tip of the spring ahead of the groove. Slowly pull back until you start to see the groove, then using the L thumb I bow the spring and push forward until it all snaps together.

Now if someone would give me hints on the trigger, I'd be forever grateful. I have fits trying to get a trigger back in without bending the spring sideways...
