I broke my FEG PA 63----- Please HELP!

[garrinchilders]

I bought my pa63 two days ago at a local gun show, I had one before and sold it. I missed it, so I searched until I found another one.

I took it home, it was dark. I fired one round (safely) to ensure the gun was indeed functional, and put it up for the night. Today I took it out to familiarize myself with my new CCW gun. The gun would not fire. The issue seemed to be with the 'Trigger bar', there was nothing keeping upward tension on it. I removed the trigger bar to discover a broken piece of what looks to be part of the trigger spring. As far as I can tell the trigger spring has a portion that extends out under the 'trigger bar' to keep upward pressure on it so it engages the sear..... am I correct in assuming this?

If so, I am in dire need of a replacement trigger spring, BuyMilSurplus is out or stock, and I am UNABLE to find one ANYWHERE!

I may can make you one but its going be a lot more money than than my P-64 springs because I'd have to take one of my PA-63 apart to do it , you can try a PPK spring , it looks similar

I located a spring from a similar setup (FEG .380) in hopes that (A.) it fits, and (B.) that this spring is what holds tension on the trigger bar to make the gun function correctly.

Sounds like you found it. Yes, the trigger return spring does double duty in this pistol. The unfortunate thing, as you found out, is a breakage makes the pistol completely useless.

FYI, for future reference: Buymilsurp has the AP-7 trigger return spring in stock. It's what I bought when my spring broke.

Come to think of it, I recall I had to bend the top arm of the spring just slightly. It was a hair too long, by maybe a couple hundredths. It just reached the far side of the frame, rubbing against it and creating a lot of "sproingy" creep. Bending the arm into a slight V shape made the spring slightly narrower, overall, giving it clearance from the frame on the left.
