Picked up a trigger shoe and it came with a reset spring so heavy it made my trigger twice the pull weight(5lbs). I did the “Bobby pin mod” and now have a 2lb trigger pull(I modified internals). I don’t really want to keep it half ass long term as I don’t like how it torques another spring. so I need to make a 1/2lb or maybe 3/4lb torsion spring(measured by trigger pull when only trigger and reset spring is installed)
How do I go about figuring out the wire diameter needed, is there a formula or have any of y’all done this before?
the company who made it doesn’t seem to understand what “the springs too heavy” means so I guess I’m on my own. I’ve been googling but it’s all crap for garage door springs.
Posted here since more people will see it, any help is appreciated.
Here’s the spring I need to replace
