Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - g18c not recocking with the blowback of the slide

I did take apart the hammer assembly to put in the hammer spring, but I don't see any bent parts(though I don't know what part is the hammer bar, do you mean part 78?) I just took it apart again and I noticed that part 268, the spring that pushed part 267 and 266 up is very loose. It doesn't even have tension on one side until part 267 is back a little bit. Could that be the issue, and if so, is there any way to bend it back without taking the pin in the assembly out?

edit* Ok well I made the trigger bar as straight as I could see, and then bent that spring back a into place a bit and reassembled the hammer stuff. Now looking at the info for how you know if you've upgraded your hammer spring correctly, it says you should be able to push the hammer back, push down part 81, push forward part 265 and hear a click (something I couldn't do before, even when the gun would manually cock), and pull the trigger which should fire. It will do this perfectly with the slide off, but when I put it on and try to cock it that way it won't cock at all now by racking the slide. So I'm thinking I fixed the assembly, but I dunno.
