Subject: Type 14 trigger guard removal problem

Help me! Help me! My blood pressure is climbing through the roof.
Following directions for removal of the trigger guard of my Type 14 gets me nowhere. It won't budge. I used Kroil just in case there was a little rust, but that didn't help. The pistol looks like it is in 95% condition, but it just won't come out. When I pull the slide back to cock, and pull the trigger, I get nothing. I suspect it may have a broken/missing spring on the inside. (Possibly related to my problem?)
It's a 19.2 pistol with a large guard.
An internet search for troubleshooting came up empty.
Any help would be appreciated.

You must further disassemble the pistol. Try this
1 remove left grip and magazine
2 unscrew cocking knob
3 remove firing pin and extension and spring
4 push against barrel until slide backs up about 3/16"
at the same time push magazine release in and hold it while pushing down on triggerguard it should now slide down. I hope this helps after this you can access locking block and bolt assembly and recoil springs

Firing pin and extension came out, no spring visable.

Triggerguard still won't budge. I see a small spring inside the triggerguard that looks stretched out a little bit. The spring is about the same diameter as a ball point pen spring.

Yes I did just like you and other web instructions said.
That spring I mentioned doesn't appear to belong there from what I can see in exploded diagrams. It has a very small flat plunger in the end. I wonder if this spring is jammed in the slot, preventing removal.

These are hand fitted to its individual frame and can be pretty tight. I tried, without success, to slide a STG group onto the frame of my LTG pistol and it was no go. I had to use a piece of dowel through the guard opening to get enough pulling power to get it off.

Finally got it. Just the smallest bit of rust and dried grease in the dovetail, not even on the surface. A little Kroil, time, a dowel, and a couple really good whacks with a small rubber mallet did the trick.
The bad news is it looks like I need a new Magazine safety spring and firing pin spring. The good news is that all serial numbers match, and it looks like a 98% finish pistol. I'll post more info about this pistol in another topic.
Thanks for the tips.

Dear GJRoberts;
Contact Wolff Spring company. They have a website. Sorry that I do not have the address handy. A complete set of new springs is cheap and they should certainly be switched out if you intend to shoot the pistol.
Enjoy.

Wolff has a "service pack" for the Type 14 that includes all the springs you need. Since its apart you may as well replace all of them! I did all of mine but the magazine safety and it made quite a bit of differene.

Please see my other post. I need to find out how the mag safety spring is installed.
