Oh but you can in this case! The issue wasn't springs breaking, but the ends were cut either too short or too long so that they would either pop out of the hole they're stuck in or sticking so far through they scratch the magazine in the magazine well. So in this case I just verified that the spring ends were cut to the proper length and it won't pop out or scratch the mags.T. O'Heir said:"...condition of the trigger bar spring..." You can't tell anything about a spring by just looking at it.
