1. Remove the main spring housing
2. Take the leaf spring out
3. Reinstall your mid-frame
4. Install beavertail safety, safety lever, etc
5. Install leaf spring - make sure all prongs push TOWARDS the muzzle. Nothing should be on "top" of the prongs.
6. Reattach main spring housing

have fun i tried bout 15times to get the back saftey to work...i finally got it on the 16th time...

If you take the main spring housing off along with the leaf spring before mating the frame and grip, it's actually a very simple procedure to put it back together correctly. The leaf spring naturally sits on top of the parts it should sit on top of when you put it back in *after* grip and frame have been assembled.

I did the same thing but I'm still having a bit of troubles. My hammer just stays forward, One of the tiimes I put it together It would lock back every now and then, and I would have a really heavy trigger pull.

Here's a simple explanation—

1. The disconnector goes behind the sear
2. The trigger loop has to be behind those
parts when you slap on the grip.
3. The leaf spring just sits on top of those
parts, like a layer cake.
4. Install the left side grip safety to hold
the beavertail in place while you work.

One of the things I thought as a new gun
owner is that the leaf spring fingers needed
to go over/under in some kind of way. Nope,
just lay it flat on.

I created an account on arnies, and looked it through, I just took the grip from the lower frame, But it looks as if though I have to take it apart even further to get it back together?

Just pull the spring housing off, lay the 3-leaf spring in, grip safety and reattach the housing.

THANK YOU!!! for this link. I found it a while ago and then couldn't find it again...so frustrating.

Worked like a charm last night and it was comforting to have pics as a reference.

LOL Tyson... shame. I'm right down
the road buddy

Thanks bud, but I didn't want to bug you...

+ I hadn't actually taken it apart yet, so it wasn't broke, LOL. I just didn't want to start until I had a good reference to go on.

On one of my 5.1's I polished the sear and shortened/polished the main notch on the hammer. The trigger pull is very smooth now. I had to "bend"/strengthen the right most finger of the spring (the one that pushes the little silver wedge up under the sear) as it was sort of sticking after the first reassembly, but the downside is that the trigger pull is a bit heavier (compared by feel to the other stock 5.1). I'll fiddle with it some more.

Q. When eliminating trigger overtravel, does the back of the trigger "bottom" out on the body of the mag release? or some other part?
