harborne blue Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 This has me stumped - I have a TM MEU in a Guarder frame that I've been gradually upgrading. Installed a new trigger and all was good, installed an new hammer and it was sticking so dropped that out, popped in the original and all seemed okay but... Now when I pull the trigger, the pistol clicks but does not fire. If I release my grip, squeeze and pull the trigger then eventually it will fire but only once. Any ideas? I have a feeling it may be something to do with the sear spring but out of ideas and don't want to strip it again until I know what the problem is. Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Something appears to be misaligned .. take it apart and reassemble it I'm guessing the leaf spring jams somewhere Wolf Link to post Share on other sites
Colin_The+Ferret Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 The leaf spring needs filling down on one side to fit the Guarded frame. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Good catch. I remember seeing this illustrated from browsing the Guarder website. Here is the image for reference: Although I guess if the leaf spring is forcefully pushed in place I am not sure how leaving that left side edge on would affect the trigger action? It could also be as mentioned above something jamming if installed slightly out of place. The airsoft 1911 leaf spring, hammer, sear and trigger bar configuration is finicky.

harborne blue Posted June 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Cheers guys - it's the leaf spring I think. The pistol is firing 9/10 so I'll leave it for now - fitting the dual safety was one big PITA I don't want to go through again. Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 The safeties should just pop in nice and happily from memory? I usually had problems with them working themselves apart because they were just a push fit?If they’re causing that much problem to put in it sounds like somethings in the wrong place?

NonEx Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 For installation of safety the hammer should be cocked, right side ambi safety in first (if applicable), left-hand side safety lever inserted almost at the full most upward position. Grip safety slightly depressed. Wiggle in place during installation. Link to post Share on other sites
