Trigger Install - Need some help

[MikeCTX]

Installing new trigger and managed to get the barrel spring that holds pressure on the safety out (won't do that again unless I have to). Trying to get it back into the trigger housing now and so far the 'devil' spring is winning the battle Anyone have any tips or tricks for getting that little beast back where it should go?

Thanks in advance...

That one can be a pain! It's probably easier with the housing off the action, so you can work from the closest edge.

Had the best luck using a small Allen wrench and a small flat blade screwdriver. Stick the Allen wrench through one hole to guide one end of the spring to it. Use the screwdriver to compress the spring and push the other end in place.


Good luck,
Dana

Got It!! ;D

Much better, did not use the Allen wrench, but close - made me remember the dental picks I bought a while back for cleaning those hard to reach places - compressed the spring after placing the pick in one hole and it caught in one side, then just worked the other side around and in it went.

Thanks Dana
