C clip falls out while bench shooting.

That C Clip is for the safety slide pin. Yo!

I don't like diagrams and such hard to see besides THAT SCHEMATIC LOOKS WRONG. Just take off the stock upside down barrel pointed away from you on the left side of that safety engagement you know you safety goes to the back and front it's riding on a pin the c clip goes on the LEFT side. Cinch it with needle nose pliers some to make it closed more then guide with your finger slide c clip to that pin use a flat screwdriver careful don't let that c clip go flying. Yo!

That schematic is idiotic! WTH? That C Clip goes on a pin that's NOT EVEN shown in that stupid parts reference! That pin is what #168 safety catch slide rides on. The C Clip goes on that pin that is associated with #168. WoW INVISIBLE PIN AND INVISIBLE C CLIP HERE! Yo!

I would definitely take the stock off and look. You should be able to see if there is a place missing a clip. It is also possible that you will find everything in place and you just had an extra "dropped" part work its way out!

If this helps, where that c-clip sits on your Edge trigger. There's one on either side. Napa Auto Parts stores carry them and you can buy singles, just take one with you and ask one of the guys at the counter. They keep good sized assortment boxes behind the counter.

Now that is helpful. C clips should snap into a groove machined into the relevant pin and be well retained-that's how they are designed. Not that one can't pop off but it is unusual. Doing this type thing is not rocket science-just remove the stock and look to see how it all fits together. If there is a place for a missing c clip it will be visible if you check each pin closely at each end. I'd suggest removing the stock to look but I wold also look farther forward at all pins to make sure there isn't another spot it could have come from. I'm not familiar with that specific model so maybe the area in the picture above is the only c clip on the gun? As has been stated, lay a rag over the c clip when pressing it into position-they can launch into oblivion sometimes.

That's the only place on the Edge trigger group that has a c-clip holding it in place, that particular pin is what holds the lower sear in place, you should find one on both sides of it and yep, like bandg mentioned, that pin has grooves machined on each side for the clips. The rest of the pins just slide in and out so be very careful you don't have one pop out on you when checking them.

Good information. I was wondering about the arm extending forward and whether there might be a c clip at the forward end of that.

That arm extending forward is the anti bear trap and the front end of it rides on a pin on the cocking arm that has a flat tab on top to hold it in place. It only comes off if that tab breaks or you turn the bear trap lever sideways to slide it over the tab.

That C Clip comes off because of auto safety engages the safety catch slide catches on it peeling it off every time the gun is cocked and safety pushed back to off. Bad design IMHO. Yo!

I've owned 4 Edges, a 1000X, 3 Webley VMX .20's (still have all 3) and a Webley Spector. Except for badging and minor cosmetics, all the same basic rifle and I've never had one of the c-clips peel off. They do if not properly seated, been there done that, but the more likely cause is not properly seated at the factory during production.

Glad you got her all fixed up. I thought that safety slide c clip was the culprit and happy you figured that one out on your own. Props to you Brutha! Does she shoot fine-normal again? Lets see some groups! Yo!

None of my 9 had pins with grooves machined in them for the trigger pin. Random thought is it was done when built and the wrong pin got used? They're all the same size so a possibility. Here's a pic of what you'll see if you pull that pin and lift the trigger out and you'll see there are no grooves in it. 

If you do, be VERY careful. That spring you oiled rides on a very small pin that's only the width of the trigger itself and is very easy to lose. Where you see my fingers pinching the trigger is because I'm holding that pin in place. The front half of it rides against the back of the trigger and is what pushes it back out after you fire and release the trigger. No harm in using c-clips on that trigger pin if you want and they should clear the housing for the trigger pack easily. I'll also mention Napa Auto Parts again for the c-clips. I used to work in one and they keep assortment boxes behind the counter. They'll happily match yours up and sell you singles if you want more.

As far as Welsh Willy triggers? You can try emailing him to see if maybe he still has a few stashed away somewhere, but I emailed him 3 years or so back asking and his reply was he'd stopped making them because buyers weren't following the installation instructions, having problems and bringing their guns back to his shop to complain.
