Gentlemen, and you know who you are!
Have any of you taken apart the trigger sear on your rifles? Mine refused to fire, and the sear clearly wasn't retracting completely, so I pulled it down and disassembled it. Clearly, not all engineers/designers belive in simplicity! After cleaning off the cosmoline - please don't tell me it was supposed to stay, the problem began before I cleaned it!- and having it fall apart several times, I finally came to the conclusion that the trigger/sear spring was protruding out slightly, preventing two pieces of the assembly to come together completely, thus preventing the sear from dropping completely. I used a pair of needle nose pliers and a dental pick to move the spring, and it fired. That was yesterday.
Lo and Behold - today at the range it refused to fire. I haven't taken it back down, but I'm sure it's the same pesky spring impinging between the two pieces of metal - I don't know the nomenclature for these pieces other than the sear and the spring, and it's the interface of the other two that I'm talking about.
After all that, my question - Have any of you gentlemen figured out the magical positioning of this spring to prevent this problem, or am I left on my fumble fingered self alone? ( It was only Divine intervention that allowed me to find that little pin after it fell out by it's own weight!)
