Contender Springs
« on: January 23, 2003, 06:17:42 AM »
I'm looking for a source for a set of springs for a Contender. I was surprised that Wolff didn't have a 'set'.  I'd appreciate if someone could tell me where to find some. I'd like to get the trigger low and smooth.  I have someone that will do a trigger job if I supply the springs. SteveAZ

:D   The trigger return spring is the one that creates the most "weight".  You can get a good reliable replacement spring out of a disposable butane cigarette lighter.  You will have to cut it down to fit, but they work just great.

Good Luck.

howdy SteveAZ--Is Contender Springs anywhere near Tucson?  I think we used to water the horses there.

Probably cheaper to buy a spring kit from the company, but you can get them on gunbroker.com or auctionarm.com. Just search under "contender".
