I watched the good Utube video from 2017; however, for the life of me cannot figure out how to put it back together? Pics would be greatly appreciated, super clear/basic directions as if for a big dummy no problem Ha Ha. So frustrated because it seems so simple.

I very much agree. That is where I learned Mac style open bolt fire control disassembly and assembly. Each part is painted a different color. I found the photos very clear on the procedures.

Shit... that dam trigger spring (purple colored in excellent example on that site) is so different vs. the PS M10/45 trigger spring... I cannot get how the trigger spring and trigger fit together, sorry. i.e. does the front of the trigger spring hook under the trigger - then I cannot lineup the pin OR hook under the disconnector - then it doesn't seem right... can't move freely? F'en thing and my impatience :-(

Just went thru this with a friends M10. One thing I can add is get a pin the same diameter as the pin that goes thru the trigger/spring, but narrower than the frame. Assemble the trigger and spring with this pin thru them outside the frame, lower this assembly into place and use the original trigger pin to push thru the frame and push this temporary pin out the opposite side as the original pin goes into place. Trying to put the trigger and spring into the frame and hold them into aligned position with the frame holes is next to impossible.

I think practical solutions had a video on their website, at least at one point I believe they did.
Maybe you can check there, if you can’t figure it out and see if it’s still on there (I just did a quick search and didn’t see it but I could’ve missed it).

O! Sam and Family are Awesome indeed. Will have to check idk IF he has full teardown? I really got to see how that trigger spring and trigger actually fit together. Nope, no videos did I see on there.

I can't F'en do it, I don't know how to make the trigger spring fit onto the trigger? Cannot put it together. I watched the 2017 video, with chicom/jap ish type music background, many many times. Im SOL can't get that dam trigger spring on the trigger. Only could hook the front of the spring under the disconnector little lever, and can see its wrong as seen on the video. Idk WTF to do... If I had very clear close up pics to look at perhaps? Smh

You’re not an idiot. An imbecile maybe but not an idiot. You can do this —

Q: did you take the sear pin, sear and trip out already? You have to do it that order.

Look at the bottom
Pic of step 3. Both legs are above the trigger in front of the disconnect

Dear sir,

Mine is diff from that pic. See these pics. As you insert the trigger the spring will compress but looped part of the spring needs to stay under the disconnect area.

O Yes, everything is apart. The rest is cake to assembly IMHO!

Not sure if anyone has chimed in with this, but it helps to use a punch or a rod that will fit through the hole to line up the trigger with the spring to insert the pin.

The MAC-11 net link will not be helpful for this situation, the M11 and M10 have a totally different trigger spring, with the M10 trigger spring being way more of a pain in the ass to install than the M11. You have to position the spring onto the trigger before installing it into the gun, then when you start to push the trigger through the frame into position, you will feel the tension of the spring pushing against the floor of the receiver, this makes it difficult to line up the pin when you go to slide it through the trigger spring holes and through the trigger to the other side of the frame. The tension of the spring gives the trigger assembly a tendency to tilt and the pins will not align with the holes.

The trick is to take a metal rod/punch whatever and shove it through to get the trigger lined up with the spring and the holes, then punch the pin through and push the rod out with the pin.. the rod will keep everything lined up. This makes it a lot easier.


By the way, the LAGE pdf attached isn’t helpful either, it shows the wrong parts at the bottom, it shows M11 parts, with an M11 spring. It isn’t gonna help you figure out how to install the M10 trigger with an M-10 trigger spring.

Your best bet is to look at the photos that the other user posted of the M10 trigger assembly, with the spring installed.. so you can get proper orientation of the spring.

Then do the trick that I just mentioned, use a narrow metal rod to line everything up and then slide the pin through using the rod to keep everything lined up and use the pin to push out the rod.
