Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Berreta PX4 Storm GBB trigger spring snapped, no one carries replacements. Suggestions?

UPDATE: Still no one found online who carries the spring, the link given by Thenooblord is for wholesale companies, not customers... Thanks for the help anyway.

I HAVE REPAIRED, AT LEAST TEMPORARILY, MY PX4.

I located a spring similar to the design on the original, however it was wider in both wire thickness and the diameter of the original spring. I had to work at it with a set of pliers, and it took a good three hours of tinkering. Installed, the trigger operated as it used to, with a good amount of resistance. However I ran into an issue with the slide. Because the new spring was bigger it pushed the locking piece of the slide that sat over the trigger upwards, and wouldn't allow the little nub to slide into the groove. Some more tinkering and sanding the slot and piece with sandpaper yielded seemingly good results...

I need to test fire it with some propane, however pulling the slide back seems fairly easy and it snaps forward after hitting the release lever. It's a pain that no one carries the bloody parts for this gun though. I would not want to do this again, but chances are I will, as I'm not sure how long the spring I put in there is going to hold up...
