Got the spring from ruger and it was the right one this time.....(They sent me 2 just in case) +1 for great service from them....
dropped in the spring and everything worked just as it should, I guess i am now an "expert" at dissassembly/reassembly of the trigger group....since it works and i didn't have too many parts left over!
thanks for your help Bullseye

Glad every thing is finished now. How did you trigger work come out since you got side tracked due to parts flying.
I use to work around some guys that were pulling practical jokes on each other all the time. One that comes to mind is when one was working on a rochester carb. One slipped in and threw a extra ball bearing into his parts tray. Then when he went to put it back together there was this extra part. He tore the carb apart 1/2 a dozen times trying to figure where it was suppose to go. Then he gave up and started to take it to a dealer for them to do when they told him. Needless to say he was furious. Then they got him again when he replaced a water pump in the parking lot. After he had put every thing back and did the hot pressure test he called it good and went back end. They slipped out and poured antifreeze over 1 section to look like it was leaking. Then when he came out to go go home he found the leak. They did wait around to see he reaction before telling him. They were cruel when it came to some of the pranks they pulled.

I should have worked the trigger since it was in pieces for almost 2 weeks... but it was good to begin with I was just tearing it down a bit to clean powder residue/gunk that had gathered there for the last 5 years of shooting it... and I wanted to try out some dry lube on the trgger group to see if it would not attract the gunk as bad... I have been looking at Iwoegen's book of Knowledge of the gp 100 and my dremel lately though....
