OK!! I thought I would take the trigger shoe apart and do some painting on it. I knew there was a spring held in by the safety, so I was so careful not to lose it, I held everything in my hand to catch spring if it started to fly free. Ok I got this far without any problems, just to be safe I use a small tweezer to grab the small spring so my old hands would not drop it, everything good so far. Then when I put the spring down on my bench it took off like free bird and once on my shop floor it is like the outer limits and is now lost forever, SO I need to find or make a spring for a replacement. Looked around this morning and I see no where that even list this part; I might have to see if I can take the spring out of old plastic trigger and see if that will fit but if anyone know where I might get one, I would be grateful

I wonder if they're the same size springs as RP uses. They sent me a couple spare springs when I needed to replace the trigger safety on one of mine.

Now I have enough left over for the next time I lose a spring. I save a lot of stuff just in case I need to make something, now I am going to save every spring I find just in case I need to make a Magiver fix again. Nice JettaMan OUT!

I hunted around in my box of parts and found another trigger, but I would still like to fix this one I screwed up. I have to say the feedback on trigger shoes I got on my last build, got me thinking about the shoes I have been using. Today I begged Santa for new shoes for the next build (Night's Watch) Zaffiri Precision – Finger Blaster Trigger – Gold Safety I may end up potting it on the Young Wolf, I think it would look better with that theme build. Lol yeah I saw those. Very nice.
