Unlikely but I'll ask anyway. Does anyone have a set of leaf springs for a Toz that they are willing to part with? Maybe you sold or traded a toz and by accident kept the leaf springs only to wonder if you could sell them to me. Thanks in advance

Always buy your first Yugo with a Class II hitch . . . so you can tow your spare parts kit (the second Yugo) . . .
(yeah, o.k., I was kidding!)

Ruig,
Thanks for the reply. The leaf springs in question (from what I have seen) usually come with a new toz from the factory. The manufacturer includes three flat or leaf springs as spares. The one I broke is on the falling block mechanism and seems to help hold the firing pin in the cocked position. I have shot my toz for 13 years or so and I would like to have some spares because I do not intend to change pistols. Thanks

The spring you are referring to is the sear spring. I got one from Don last summer. I'm glad I did. Check with Scott P. He said he has a few parts. Something happened to Don's inventory of parts, but I haven't seen anybody stepping forward in support of our hunger.
A local shooter did make a sear spring from a paper clip. It even works. If you can't find a spring any place else, I can get pictures of the little gem.

Mark -
Rumor was that Don's parts went to Larry Carter. Larry has confirmed that he has some parts and Don gave leads to get more.
So contact Scott at
info@pilkguns.com.
Contact Larry at
hammerli@maine.rr.com
Have a local smith fab one from flat stock.
Make your own from wire.

Thanks Funtoz
I already contacted Pilk (no luck) and I just sent Larry's Guns an email.

Igor,
Can you post some pictures and/or instructions to make the paper clip leaf spring part you mentioned?

For those having trouble getting firing pin springs, the standard rebound spring for S&W K-frame revolvers is a close match. I have the Wolf 15# version in my Toz now. The 15# one whacks the shells right smart and the stock 18# one should even handle worn firing pins.
