Remington Trigger Help Please....

[sakofan]

Took my trigger out to bed my Remington VSLH action.
All went well, except I can't figure out how the bolt stop spring goes back together. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I'm having a major brain seizure here!!

Anybody got a pic they could post of a Remington trigger assembly, and where and how the bolt stop spring goes back on.

Thanks to all......Yeah, I feel stupid, but I'm used to that.....sakofan.....

There's a picture in this bedding thread...not a complete picture but enough to allow you to figure it out I believe.

I can't make out what I need in that pic, Dave. But thank you....sakofan.....

Scroll down midway and theres a good photo of how the spring should look. Its a Tanaka airsoft model but the trigger and the bolt stop spring are identically placed so its the same set-up.
The long side of the spring faces forward, the short doglegged end goes into the slot where the trigger slides into.
Best way to do it is to place a drift pin/punch of same diameter through the bolt stop metal and the bolt stop spring, then insert the pin from the opposite side.
Or place the drift pin/punch through the opposite side and put the pin through the bolt stop metal and action.
Either way you can end up with the same results. BE careful when inserting the pin and make sure the spring is not bent or destroyed in the process. The safety may present a problem with installing the pin from that side just watch out and be careful.

The picture is missing only a small part - the lip of the spring sits on top of the bolt release (same as how the other end of the spring touches the action). To put the spring in, put the bolt release in place, insert the pin tapered end first, lay the spring on top and push the coil part down, then push the pin through it. There is not a lot of tension on it.

Hope this helps!

Exactly what part are you having trouble with? Look at this picture and maybe use that to help describe what you mean
