If you've ever taken a Gold Cup all the way down, you'll know just how difficult it is to re-assemble with the spring. I have a couple in "Lost Spring Land".
Easy. Assemble the sear/thingy with a round toothpick, cut the tooth pick even with the sides of the sear, drop in, push the sear pin through, toothpick drops out.

I came up with this idea after chasing that spring a few times on a GC Series 70 I had back in the 80's.
