Original 35

Any idea how the spring should look internally to allow the pin to be fitted to hold the trigger

Thank you that was helpful.

As suspected the tinkering has included taking it apart putting the trigger guide upside down and losing the 3 bearings.

Waiting for the 3 bearings I oredered today then back together...... hopefully.

I have already stripped the stock of varnish and refinished with 5 coats of boiled linseed oil so far so hopefully it should work and look a lot better.

bearings are actually the same size as push bike wheel bearings

Well ..

I have managed to strip down the Original 35 replace the trigger completely as it was missing , Sri’p the stock of varnish and refinish with boiled linseed oil and today it’s fully working and finished. Thanks for advice and where to get info.

Best advice “ grease your balls” .

On the trigger it had 3 ball bearings which I had to replace as missing due to tinkering and would never had got it together without that tip.

Might need to invest in a main spring clamp as that was also tricky.

I always grease mine when working on a trigger unit.

I find Vaseline to be the most sticky.

Don't listen to that misguided advice to use 'Tune in a bloody tube' stuff. IMO it is a shoddy, expedient, commercial means to an end. The man is fixated on the stuff
If you want crap being attracted to the internals of your air rifle, use grease.
Try graphite powder dusted lightly and or sleeving, top hats etc.
