Does anyone have any info on how to detail strip / change springs, etc. on the P30? I'm particularly looking on instructions for changing the firing pin block spring to the new lighter style. HK Spring | HK FPBS - HKPARTS.NET Thx HK lovers

Here are instructions for the P2k, P2kSk, and USP/C, but they are the same for the P30:

I was just responding to your other thread about replacing the spring, but wrt81 beat me to it. We have good people on this forum.

is there a FPB sring you can replace to lighten the trigger pull of the DA/SA P30 ?

Yes, the light FPBS. It'll shave 1.5 lbs off the trigger pull.

 

[rchemist]

does the trigger return spring (TRS) need to be replaced as well or just the FPB spring.

Just the FPBS.

Do not take the slide release lever all the way out it ruins the gun.








Just kidding, but according to some it renders the gun useless and it will not function properly without a new trs spring a d a trip to hk...




Again this was all a joke

 

[P30]

I replaced the FPB spring in my P30. Easily done and a big advantage:
- Has decreased the trigger pull weight by 14 oz (400 g)
- Has improved the shape of the trigger weight curve:

Before:

^ weight

|                             **

                              * *
                              *
                            **
                          **  <- I did not like this
                        **
                  ******
            ******
      ****** <-- slack
******
                            ----> trigger movement


After:
                            
                        *
                        **
                        **
                        * * 
                        * *
                        *
                  ******  <- It has nearly gone with the light FPB spring
            ******
      ******
******

I don't mean trigger creep. That is not changed. But the weights of the TR spring and the FPB spring add. And with the light FPB spring, the addition of its weight at the end of the trigger movement is much less noticeable.

When reassembling, make sure to push in the firing pin the right amount so that you don't tap the roll pin on it.

The HK45 has the light FPB spring ex factory. Since the P30 has exactly the same FPB as the HK45, it is a big riddle for me, why HK does not put the light FPB spring into it.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but is this just for LEM or will this lighten the trigger pull on a P30 V3 as well?

The Light FBPS will lighten the pull on a V3 by 1.5 pounds.

 

[DaZe831]

Like TooSixy said, FPBS will shave off about 1.5lbs.

When i did this "mod", i detailed cleaned everything in the process.

 

[goneshootin88]

Sweet! Thanks for the help

The detail strip of the p30 is basically the same as an usp right?

Almost. You don't have a safety lever, detent plate, or slide plate to disassemble. Also, when you remove the slide release lever, make sure you lift up the left leg of the TRS spring (which is resting upon the slide release lever) before pushing the lever out all the way to the left to remove. If you don't, you will damage the TRS.

 

[Vdub5818]

Well ive got a p30s so id still have those parts. But ive removed my slide release levers before and my trs seems fine. Never did anything to any of the legs of it while doing it either. Care to go more in depth on that?

Edit- just field stripped the p30, i see what you are saying. But when i removed it before i never messed with the trs leg and it looks perfectly normal now

 

[TooSixy]

People have reported problem with the trigger when they removed the slide release lever completely, without properly removing the TRS leg.

 

[Vdub5818]

Thats odd, i did the heatshrink "mod" to the right ride release and didnt mess with the leg and have since put @ 500 rounds through it trouble free. Good to know though, as i can see how something could go wrong there.
