springy thingy!

surely you guys work with the piece inside a clear plastic bag when taking down a weapon.....i find those that come over my suits from the cleaners to work really well.....it will keep the "lost in the carpet" $5 part from shutting down your $1000 weapon....

a buddy recently found a spring from 5+ years ago clear across the workroom, some 20 feet away from his bench.

good hunting on a bad day...!!

BTW, the afore mentioned springs are a near identical replacement part. But, that's not to say other springs of a stronger compression won't work as good, sometimes even better that the originals. If you are having a problem with the plunger not pushing past the trigger lever, (the little click you hear when you slowly let the trigger go forward) you may opt for a stronger spring? You can also tell the strength of the spring by the loudness of the click when you let the trigger go forward as in testing the disconnector. It should be light and barely audible. But, it needs to be there... Anyway, now you know as much about it as I do, and that should be sufficient to get you into trouble from here on out!...... you're welcome! best, til....lat'r.....GT...
