I ordered a replacement spring for my Vortek kit. It didn't fit with the tophat, it wouldn't latch into the trigger, so I removed the tophat, added the spacer washer and replaced it. It seemed to work. Then the safety just popped right out and flew across the room... the tiny spring that works with the safety is now lost. Could I just clip down a ballpoint pen spring to replace it?
I have replaced my spring a few times, but this time all seemed to go wrong...sigh.

I have done this myself, but luckily I found the spring! I suspect there are quite a few ballpoint pen spring fixes in Weihrauch springers. Personally I hate the auto safety catch as I sometimes forget to push it in before I take the shot - in which case the shot doesn't get taken. Last time I reassembled the gun I left the safety catch out altogether and I prefer it this way. I shoot on my own, well away from other people and I keep my finger off the trigger blade until I take the shot. So having no safety catch on the gun is not an issue for me.
