Berreta PX4 Storm GBB trigger spring snapped, no one carries replacements. Suggestions?
Hey, I purchased a Berreta PX4 a couple months ago as a sidearm to my sniper, but failing to do proper research prior to, I didn't know that the trigger spring was a major flaw in the design. Not long after my first test of the pistol, the trigger spring snapped. Basically what happens now is when the trigger is pulled, the pistol fires, but the trigger won't reset back to it's original forward position to be fired again, I have to manually push it forward. This effectively makes it a springer-class pistol. I've scoured the internet, and I've only found one site online (tiger airsoft or something from china) that has the trigger spring on their site, but out of stock. No one else, including Evike, has it.
Does anyone have any suggestions what I could do to fix it? I've attempted making my own spring but the one I used didnt have the strength required to hold it's shape and bent after the first pull. |

Can't fix my own guns. Willing to fix yours.

may be able to shove an M9 spring or other in there if you cant find a replacement, otherwise, a rubber band from the trigger around the front of the trigger guard will work in a pinch, ive done it before, but it was an AEG not a GBB, may have trouble resetting the trigger

Some pistols like the TM/KJ M9 can use a real trigger spring. Have you thought about a real spring? Not sure if it's compatible.

I used an actual spring but it was a normal coil-class spring, i used pliers to cut and flatten the ends into arms to mimic the original spring that snapped. However it lacked the strength to hold it's shape and simply bent behind the trigger, proving to be useless. I was thinking of placing a glock trigger spring inside,
http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/sa-enhanc...eries-gbb.html was what i was thinking. Not sure if it'll work or not. I'm basically trying to avoid having to purchase an entirely new sidearm since I went through the trouble of getting extra mags and holsters for the pistol and spare magazines. I appreciate the responses, guys. Thenooblord thanks for that link! if i can figure out how to order from them i'll be buying two or three of them in case they snap as well lol |

UPDATE: Still no one found online who carries the spring, the link given by Thenooblord is for wholesale companies, not customers... Thanks for the help anyway.
I HAVE REPAIRED, AT LEAST TEMPORARILY, MY PX4. I located a spring similar to the design on the original, however it was wider in both wire thickness and the diameter of the original spring. I had to work at it with a set of pliers, and it took a good three hours of tinkering. Installed, the trigger operated as it used to, with a good amount of resistance. However I ran into an issue with the slide. Because the new spring was bigger it pushed the locking piece of the slide that sat over the trigger upwards, and wouldn't allow the little nub to slide into the groove. Some more tinkering and sanding the slot and piece with sandpaper yielded seemingly good results... I need to test fire it with some propane, however pulling the slide back seems fairly easy and it snaps forward after hitting the release lever. It's a pain that no one carries the bloody parts for this gun though. I would not want to do this again, but chances are I will, as I'm not sure how long the spring I put in there is going to hold up... |
