Irish Pat Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Are they very hard to change out? Are there any you-tubes on how it is done? what pound spring should I put in a RNV 357 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Call Saul Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I just went through multiple changes... there are videos... it's easy... however with 15 lbs and even with 17 lbs I started having issues with light strikes on cci primers... ended up sending to a Sgunsmith for full slick up... not all vaqueros are equal and with light weight springs you might get side effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Flats Jack Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Power customs YouTube channel will have the video you want to watch. Very simple to do yourself. I run 15lb main springs and 30oz trigger return springs and have zero issues in any of the 3 pairs of rugers using Winchester or federal primers.

Assassin Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Springs can be changed by removing grips. Do not disassemble grip frame from pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 OP-Remove the grips and you'll see just how easy it is. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Removing and re-installing is the easy part. There's a little practical knowledge that helps in replacing the spring on the Hammer Strut. I'm sure YouTube has good videos. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Pat Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 I have changed a hammer spring before using a fork but how can you change the trigger spin with taking off the grip frame Trigger spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major E A Sterner #12916 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Once you take off the grips you'll see a small pin just behind the trigger guard that passes through the trigger spring, Take the legs of the spring off the cross pin at the top rear of the grip frame, then push the smaller pin out from the left to the right, the trigger spring will come out, replace in reverse order and you're done. By the way, check your trading butts thread,I have a grip frame posted there for trade. r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not hard. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure YouTube has good videos. I've spent some time searching in distant corners of my garage for the steel Mainspring Seat in the past, after it slipped out of my pliers and launched under the spring tension. Now I use a vise grip to hang onto it while I compress the spring onto the strut. It works much better than ordinary pliers. The other end of the strut can be secured in a vise or in a second vise grip, if you're at the range or elsewhere where a vise isn't available.
