Trigger spring re-assembly (and other) tips

[imarangemaster]

If you don't want to buy a trigger spring tool, stuff the trigger spring in an empty 30 carbine case, stick it in the hole in the rear of the trigger guard housing hole as far as it goes (gently with finger pressure), then take a small screw driver and pull the bent flange forward over the end of the trigger into the groove.

ALso, assembling the sear to trigger while it is out of the guard, use a shaft of a Qtip . Cut off one end, push it through while pushing the sear against the spring until flush with one side. Then clip the other end flush. Place it in and put the pin through from the outside, displacing the Q TIP SHAFT.

JUST A FEW TIPS I HAVE USED THROUGH THE YEARS.

As for bolt tool, GET one! I had to reorder a GI one this week, because I lent mine to a "friend" almost two years ago. He move away without returning it.
