for anybody who has used this mod, how much should you cut the pen spring. I cut it a little bit and the spring has a good stretch. Does it matter how much space is between loop on the spring. last but not least, if i am playing and the spring falls off, how will i know and is there a wat to keep it on securely ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom Set Up ------------------------- -Ported Feeder -32 Degrees Whisper Barrel -Fixed wobbler hopper and grip -polished externals..no joke -milled off rear site |

Just cut it the same length as the stock return spring and it will never fall off. -------------

^ The "Pen Spring Mod" is simply replacing your trigger return spring with a lighter pen spring. It gives you a little lighter pull. -------------

I dont get it if you want a light pull take out the spring and how would it make a difference the sear still needs the same amount of force to trip it. ------------- HAHAHA, i wipe |

^^ Yes it takes the same amount of force, but the pen spring lightens the pull up to that point, and it helps return the trigger. -------------

are you supposed to use a spring from the inside of a pen? sounds like a stupid question but i don't want to screw something up. ------------- a-5 rt 14" Progressive 20 oz PMI 4+1 soon to come: x-core expansion chamber dop drop forward double trigger superfly bolt |

Oh I tryed this but no spring is better in my opinion but I guess a really light spring like the pen spring would help but the pull is alot lighter now. ------------- HAHAHA, i wipe |

Another great addition is to shortin the pull by using a guitar pick or a little piece of plastic to shorting the pull. |
