fs 45 handle re-assembly

[jetri]

I disassembled my fs 45 handle assembly. I am not sure how the trigger lock is supposed to work and also how to keep the trigger spring in place. I saw a previous post here that showed the proper position of the trigger spring.it doesn't seem to snap into anything and falls out of position after pulling the trigger or lock a few times.

As for the lock, is the lock mechanism supposed to fit into the trigger?

Any video or explanation of reassembly would be greatly appreciated at this point.

Just to clarify, there is a spring in the trigger and that one is fine, the one in question is the one that fits over the round part of the bottom of the trigger and is supposed to make it return, I think. Part #17 in the diagram here.

First pic shows trigger part and spring. Second shows where I think the spring may go be there is nothing to snap into and it will not stay in place. Third pic shows the other side of the trigger. Does the trigger lock go into the triangular recess behind the 'axle' where the spring was shown on the opposite side?

Flip that spring over and fit into the slot,
then snap it into the holders down into the handle.
