New guy with question about trigger bar spring

(1/1)

slmoore:
I just bought my first Mauser pistol, a Model 1914 in 7.65.  In the process of disassembling it, I noticed that the trigger bar spring seemed to be installed 'upside down' from what I could see in the schematic I looked at and the video I watched.  On my gun, the longer of the two legs of the spring was below the shorter leg.  This seemed to be the reverse of what I could tell from the schematic and video.  I experimented and found that the spring could be installed either way - with the long leg above the short leg or with the short leg above the long leg.  I could not detect any difference in the functioning of the gun either way.  My question is, which way is the spring supposed to go, or does it matter?  TIA,
Scott

saxon:
Shorter leg should be on top..
