2 questions: Trigger spring and Hold open issue

[Lugerdoc]

SZ, You may want to try one of my new, stiffer, Mauser Parabellum trigger springs @$5 + $3 S&H. It's also possible that your trigger is "clicking" on the frame at the front, in the area where that your index finger is covering inyour top photo. Tom

Is the 1918 "trouble trigger" numbered to the frame, or a misnumbered part?? What does your trigger return spring look like??

hmm, it's possible! definitely sending you a PM on the stiffer spring. what's odd about it is that it only clicks when the trigger isn't pushed all the way back in the well.

yes sir, it is numbered to the frame. the return spring appears to have thinner coils than the byf and definitely is much weaker.

Might answer the question.

or vice versa and see if the problem is present with the "bad" trigger in the byf?

Did you say you were a pilot?

ya the video is with the BYF spring and it makes the trigger movement side to side less sloppy BUT it's still sloppy and still makes the clicking sound. and yes sir, I am indeed an airline pilot
