A very simple DIY upgrade that requires some basic drilling skills. In Tanaka/KJW rifles, the trigger spring pushes against a plate sitting between the actual trigger and the spring itself. This plate has some circular cavities that should help the spring to stay in place. By further drilling into the cavity that the trigger spring sits into, it is possible to make the spring to keep its intended pressure point, better. It could happen that, when moved around, dropped or under general heavy stress, the trigger spring would bend all the way up and therefore apply a wrong force vector onto the trigger plate.
In the pictures you can see the stock trigger plate and the drilled one. In the last two pictures you can see how the trigger spring now sits all the way into the trigger plate cavity.
