I think the roll pin is for the trigger/return spring. It holds the spring in place. Until you get the roll pin thru the frame. Keep your hand hand over the top of the frame to keep it the spring from launching to the deep dark corners. Just in case it comes lose while inserting the floating pin thru.

wingnut Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 What holds the pin in. Does the spring leg go behind the pin or in front of the pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A4ME Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) The little roll pin is used to hold the trigger return spring in place in the trigger while you set it down into the frame. When you push the floating trigger pin into the hole in the frame and push it on through it will push that little roll pin right out the other side of the frame. The coils of the trigger return spring sit down in the smaller diameter center of the floating trigger pin and hold it in place. I put one in my CZ 85 a few weeks back. Won't know the difference until the next time I tear the frame down for some reason or other. Then I won't have to get a punch and hammer and pound the trigger pin out of the frame to get the trigger out.

wingnut Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Ok I got it I did not use it I used my punch to guide it through and got the spring in right. Thanks to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I would not use the Floating Trigger Pin to push the OEM roll pin out, use the starter punch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A4ME Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 The roll pin in question is a tiny/short little roll pin used as a slave pin to hold the trigger return spring in place while you line the trigger up inside the frame. It is so short the ends are flush with the side of the trigger itself. The only thing holding the little/short roll pin in place is the pressure the trigger return spring puts on it once you press the spring into place in the trigger. We just put another one in my youngest son's CZ 75 SA. It only takes thumb pressure to push the floating trigger pin into place - unless you get it out of alignment. If that happens it stops pushing into place. Don't hammer/smack it, just look in there and get things lined up. When properly aligned your thumb will push the floating trigger pin into place. We saved the old pin as a spare/back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArrDave Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 if you are studly, you can drive the pin out with a punch from one side, then feed the FTP in from the other side as you withdraw the punch, of course that's given you aren't replacing the TRS which most of the time you should.
