dogtired Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 My Para 16-40 sear spring is longer than the average bear. I just received my Ed Brown sear spring replacement as it was touted on this board as one that is slightly longer then the average. Well the sear leg is not long enough and visibly shorter than what is in the gun. What other sear spring replacements have worked in your 16-40 without resorting to the Dremel? Thanks.

Marv Z Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Brownells had the para replacements in stock awhile ago. Check with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Would emailing Remington Arms (or whoever bought Para) get an answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmca Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Did you click on the alternative part? It says the Infinity Tri-Glide sear spring might work. Wouldn't hurt to give the support group a call and see if it will fit. It's kinda pricey though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmca Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 A $26 ti sear spring? I will wait. But from what I hear, it'll take 5 seconds off your run and average 4 more A hits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockster35 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I was lucky enough to catch them on Brownells. I ordered several just in case I need them later. My hope is that Brownells or someone else will reproduce these for Para owners. Give it some time, if they don't come back up on the site, PM me and I will send you one of mine.

ParaGunner Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I've used the infinity sear spring for 4years now in my Para with 0 issues. The trick to get other sears springs to work is the rebend the tab that sits in the frame slot. The infinity sear tab was extra long and went all the way through the frame and stuck out. I actually pushed the tab flush with the inside of the frame and held it there while tapping the steel mainspring housing into place, doing that rebent the tab to make the sear spring legs long enough.

dogtired Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 The Ti Infinity Sear Spring? Glockster, thanks for the offer. The one I have has lost some of its luster but is still working for the time being... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yes, the tri-glide titanium sear spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstagn Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I tried several sear springs on my PARA p14-45 pro-custom, none worked, had to get a replacement from PARA at the time. Others were too short. Para cut the slot too low in the frame on my first frame and even there's would not work properly. They replaced the frame and the new slot was cut higher but still the most common springs were too short. They made up for it with a longer spring. My OLD para had a standard length so almost anyone's would fit. SOO, sold the new para ( too many MIM parts) and kept the old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I don't know about this vendor, but they claim they have Para springs in stock: https://www.e-sarcoinc.com/para-ordnance-sear-spring.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Wonder if it's for ss or hi-cap frames? Don't ss Para's use standard sear springs? Edited July 8, 2015 by ParaGunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sschultz Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Anybody try the STI sear spring in a para Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose64 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I found out this weekend the Disconnector in the Pro Custom 40 is also different. Tried putting in a Cylinder and Slide one, and it would not work. The OAL of the C&S was 1.302, the Disconnector in the Para measures 1.310 OAL.

dogtired Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 It looks like these are standard sear springs. I have not tried it yet but held them up to the Ed Brown springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Just got mine in the mail today. I'll check tomorrow. Luckily, I found a few Para springs in my parts bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roklock Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I bought several of Brownells 199-000-022 a couple years ago and they work great. It seems that they have added a 'WB' as a suffix so I don't know what that means or might have changed to the spring. Might be worth a call into them though. http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/trigger-group-parts/sear-parts/sear-springs/sear-spring-prod5244.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
