trigger problem

[wright561]

I have a CVA Trapper and I have been having trouble with the trigger and hammer. I am having trouble keeping the hammer in the cocked position and in the half-cocked safety position. I took the trigger assembly apart and found that a small spring type device that puts pressure on the pin to slide it into one of the two hammer positions was broke. I guess it finally gave out through a lot of wear and tear. I'm not sure where I can find a replacement part. The hammer will not stay cocked at all now. I know I didn't explain this the greatest but hopefully someone can help me out and give me advice on how to solve my problem before turkey season! Thanks guys.

You might contact CVA or Deer Crrek and see if they have the part you nned in stock.

You explained it fine...sounds to me like the "sear spring"...agree with Rebel

Is that it?

If it is,,, tell me where to send it.

riarcher, i can't view the image. It says "image no longer available" in your post. Can you email the pic to me at [email protected].

I would say this piece is about 3/4" long, bent in a V or U shape. The width of the metal strip is probably about 1/8" or so.

Thanks for the help guys.

Sounds like a sear spring.
CVA used 2 different styles. 1 was a horseshoe bend and the other was a v bend. I know that because, when I called Deer Creek to order one, I didn't know which one I needed. I ended up buying both. Still have the extra one. Not sure which one it was, I'd have to look.
If riarcher can't help you out, I'll check and see if the one I have will work for you.
It ain't doin' me any good sitting in my shooting box.

If you don't see what you need here, try calling them:

You may be able to use a section of common packing band, and make one. There is a good chance that you can cold bend it and have enough strength for it to work. Packing band is 1095 spring steel with a low side temper.

I had thought about that Wick but if I can find the actual part I'd rather go that route. Worst case scenario though, I'll have to go the route you suggested.
Thanks for the help.

Maybe this will work. Here is a scan of the extra sear spring I have. It is the horseshoe style.
If this will work for you send me a PT.
