Gunsmithing Need help re-assembling Tacsport pro trigger safety

[JuiceboxPNW]

As the title states I’m having difficulty re-assembling a Tacsport pro single stage safety. It’s a left hand model. I can’t seem to keep the coil spring in place to keep the safety tight and it just seems to over rotate out of the safety lever where it mates with it. I also have a tiny tiny small ball bearing left over and I’m not sure where it goes. Any help would be great.

Towards the bottom this mentions something about the ball bearing… hope it helps.

Thanks for the link, but I don’t think it addresses what I’m dealing with

Did you see the article about that brand of trigger on this site? Not in the forum but an article.

No? If it’s about the spring and detent for reducing trigger side to side it’s not that

I don’t know because I didn’t read it all. Lol.
That’s all I got for you. Best of luck!

The tiny small ball bearing goes in the side of the trigger shoe, there’s a recessed hole and there should also be a tiny spring that the ball bearing drops down on top of that then gets sandwiched down by the top plate when you close it all up. Supposedly it’s to help lift the lid or something. It’s not necessary, the first ones didn’t have it and mine work fine without it reinstalled as well.

As far as the safety goes, it is just plain squirrely so take your time

Glad I’m not crazy and it is kinda tricky.

Once you finally get it you realize what needs to happen it’s not so bad but I can’t really describe it so… good luck lol

Resolved. the coil spring was compressed. I just had to expand it a little.
