Was Changing Grips Upon TM Beretta

[EvOrAcEr]

Ok i was just changing the grips. thought it was a real simple job so went ahead. Ended up that when i took them off the slide release catch comes straight off.

 

I have some pictures, i'm just a little confused how to put it back. i've got 2 springs that i don't know where/how they go.

 

Pics:

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

 

thanks,

Hi mate,

 

the second spring goes on the right hand side of the gun and is normally covered by the grip. Put it on so the main curve goes around the raised circle and that the two ends are facing backwards and curve down. push the lower end up so that it rests on the little ledge behind the circle roughly below the hammer. then push the top end down and push it so it fits into the groove on the underside of the trigger to mechanism link (part27).

 

the long rod on the release catch goes through the centre of the coil. The long wire end of it goes in the grove on the top of the catch and the 90 deg. tab end rests opposite to it on the little ledge the easiest way to get it back on is to start is with the back of the catch facing down and then rotating it anti-clockwise until you can push it in just play around and you'll get it eventually, just make sure there isn't too much pressure on the spring otherwise the mag follower won't be able to push the catch up.

 

never hurts to splash a bit of lube down the hole the rod goes in

 

Cheers

edit: laughably atrocious spelling and grammar

thanks alot mate. i just need to spend some time evaluating everything you detailed and put it into action now.

I left my spring for the Slide catch off. Didn't cause any harm.

Just to confirm matey:

 

Like This ?

 

Edit:

 

I tried putting it on without the spring and it didn't hold slide back

I dropped in a set of Hogue Mono Grips and didn't have any issues. They were a drop in fit.

No, Spring two goes on the otherside of the gun under the other grip:

ahh ill take a look

 

Edit:

 

Spring 2 = Sorted, i've put it where it goes.

 

Still confused trying to interpret where the coil goes.

Would just like to check:

 

Do KJW grips even fit the TM beretta- I've tried encouraging them but i just can't get the rectangle moulded upon the grip within the space upon the gun- seems like 1mm too big-might try file some off but are they suppose to originally fit ?

A friend of mine dropped my WA Beretta *gasp!* onto gravel *double gasp!* and the grips flew off. I definitely know I lost the trigger bar spring (spring 2 in your diagram.) What's the best way to replace that piece short of buying a scrapped M9?

 

Sorry for the slight hijack. Given your thread, it didn't seem all that appropriate to make a new one so similar.

Ye suppose it still works but will it hold the slide when out of gas still ? doesn't seem too

[wasted__youf]

What?

 

The slide catch is pushed up by the magazine spring. So gas has sweet FA to do with it, but the amount of BBs in your mag does.

[EvOrAcEr]

Well you my meaning. No need to take pleasure out of flaming because i wasn't 100% accurate in the description of why the slide stays back.

 

What effect does that little spring have then ? Whats it's purpose ?

 

Just tried it with a mag in and it doesn't hold the mag in
