JohnnyRingo12 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I noticed recently that when i am dry firing after i clean the rifle sometimes when i push the lever forward all the way as far as it will go will trip the sear. Is this normal? Something tells me it isnt, and that maybe my 9 spring isnt bent enough perhaps? Also id like to add I cannot duplicate this with the stock off it functions properly.

emmagee1917 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Hummmm , never heard of this one . The selector is attached to the cross pin which is part of the rocking bar . When you push too far it could be causing the bar to press up on the disconnector , releasing the sear ??? When the stock is removed , it may allow someting to free up a tad , breathing room so to speak , to allow it to move and not put as much preassure on the disconector . Just a big WAG , but I dont see how the 9-spring could be it .Chris Edited June 24, 2020 by emmagee1917 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm guessing maybe the stock? When I bought it the stock was split so I replaced it with a potbelly stock I bought off ebay. Could that have something to do with it?

JohnnyRingo12 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Okay another update, the trigger housing wiggles left to right slightly, i noticed when i squeezed the barrel and housing on the side of the lever it would do it. So i know now it isn't the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagee1917 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Does the tip of the lever go into a groove on the side of the disconector or does the disconector just have a flat shelf the lever rests under with no groove at all ?Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmagee1917 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Yes , the groove that the end of the rocker rests in . I had one where that shelf did not have the groove and it did some weird things , I don't remember what , but I replaced it with one that did and the problems were solved . No other ideas .Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just a simple flick either way and it's good. Maybe a new disconnector and or lever. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
