I just had my 15-2 parkerized and I smoothed the insides and performed the AJM to the interior components. Upon reassembly I could not get the hand spring to sit right. With the pin it sits on located on the connector the springs seems to be crooked when the other end of the spring is place in the hand.

I thought I had it installed correctly and reassembled. I dry fired twice and the hand spring broke where it goes into the hand groove. I ordered a new EWK hand spring and I see that they leave it "long" for a custom fit. When I get the spring what do I need to do to get it to fit correctly? Can someone get some pictures of the spring installed to the connector and in the hand groove? Do I need to bend the end of the new spring to get it to install?

I already purchased the small spring pack from EWK and freshened up the rest of the gun. I want to get this Dan back together so I can hit the range. Please help!

I received in the hand spring from EWK, another fine product!

When I went to install the spring I see what EWK means by "left long".

The end that goes into the hand has addition length to trim for the truly fitted install.

I now have the revolver parked and new springs throughout. I set the trigger stop screw per the directions I found on this fine site and what a difference!

I cant wait to fire this. I spend so much range time with my Glock 19 I hope I remember how to fire a revolver, LOL  shooting.

Before and after pics to follow,as soon as I upload them. 

 

Harly,

 Thank you for the offer! Once I receive my grips and rear site I will be ready for the range.

 

thanks again everyone.
