Here is some pics and video of the spring I used for the front trigger of my new Coyle Blaster.

I wanted to wait to take it apart until I was ready to work on finishing painting and pewter dying the gun. Obviously the blaster is not finished yet.

Nice idea ,
I 'll see if I can source some thin steel strip and try to create some springs, as you've probably found the rear trigger spring isn't so hot either, as sometimes it sticks and the trigger doesn't return as it should . So I would strongly suggest changing the rear one as well.

If you want to use a Swiss Army spring they can be found here.

I would suggest getting several.

Great idea. I would not mind if the swiss spring was just a tad stronger. It's works great but is a little light. A slightly stronger steel would feel real good.

Having watched the video, I would concur that bending the spring up at one end and drilling a small hole would be a good idea , a spot of superglue in the hole will fix the spring in place. The rear trigger already has a hole drilled in the trigger and a matching one in the gun frame , so bending both ends and fixing one end in the trigger ( superglue) and leaving the one in the frame un-glued should give fully working front and rear triggers, that will not stick and will always return .
