Polymer 80 Build - Leftover parts?

[long_tall_texan]

OK. Don't laugh at me too a hard. Just completed my first P80 lower build this evening... And I have leftover parts. That's never good, right?

I bought this kit.

Here's the leftover parts.

Obviously, the trigger is the curved trigger. I installed the flat faced trigger. The flat spring appears to be a longer slide lock/release spring - maybe for the full size? And what is the little coil spring for?

I assembled my slide on the lower. Everything appears to function properly. But I'm not gonna fire it until I know what these leftover parts are.

Thanks in advance.

IIRC that is indeed a slide lock spring (the long flat guy)

The small coil spring... striker spring? Trigger return spring? Been a minute since I detail stripped a Glock - there's only IIRC 33 parts in a Glock pistol (and thus, Glock clone) so it shouldn't be too hard to find what that spring is!

That's the spring that pushes the firing pin block back down. Take off the slide and turn it upside down and the firing pin block will probably move on its own.

Problem solved. The LPK is a generic one for multiple generations and frame sizes. The flat spring is for larger frame slide locks. The coil spring is for Gen 5 slide lock. I just popped the slide off my wife's 19.5 and verified. Yay, I didn't screw up!

That metal bar looks like the “spring” that goes under the takedown tab.

Yeah. Looks like it is a longer version of that spring. I'm assuming it is for G17/G45/G19x larger frames?

Nothing worse than taking your gun apart, then putting it back together and realizing there is a spring on your workbench, and you have no idea where it came from!

Yep. Exactly. I may have been guilty of tossing a random fastener on the workbench of a buddy who was doing an R&R on hardware at work just to mess with him.

Best one up I ever saw was when a friend who was a pain in the ass jokester, was rebuilding a Rochester 4BB and SOMEHOW - SOMEBODY put a little ball bearing in the cleaner the parts were soaking in. A ball bearing the same size as the several used for check valves in the Rochester!
After about a week, he finally checked the parts sheet and found that, yes there WAS one part too many!

Ooft. That would be a good ones. I rebuilt the Holly 4BB that was on my grandma's F250 many moons ago. The instructions were just an exposed view of the entire carb - items 1-100+. Re uild instructions were, remove items in order of 1, 2, 3, etc. Reassemble in reverse order. Oh so fun for a teenage kid. But it did it and it worked! Went from 4 gallons per mile to 4 miles per gallon in a few hours.
