Duza9999 Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 Good evening gents, I’ve had my Reising for three years now, I’ve read Frank’s book cover to cover, I love the gun’s history (even if I wouldn’t trust my life to it). But for the last week I’ve been stumped. Specifically having not replaced the springs in my gun since I’ve owned it, I ordered a wolf spring set and replaced out a number of them. However for the life of me, I am struggling to figure out what’s wrong when reinstalling the trigger assembly. It just sits there with no movement, frozen in place. Has anyone had that issue before? Am I missing something stupidly simple? Any recommendations/guidance would be greatly appreciated! With regards-Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try moving the selector, to semi-full-safe, Check all the parts that the triggers actuates, the sear etc. After you figure out the problem, please post what the problem was as a reference to possibly help others facing a similar problem. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duza9999 Posted November 5 Author Report Share Posted November 5 My only guess is that I somehow screwed up installing the sear wrong, as before reattaching the trigger, the auto connector wants to take a nose dive and jam itself right on the edge of the receiver. When installing the trigger, there’s not enough clearance for it to actuate. However what I don’t understand is I think I'm doing what they’re showing in the reassembly portion of that video. @Frank I. @StrangeRanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank I. Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 It looks like the auto-connector is installed incorrectly, unless the trigger is pulled, it should be higher as in the lower photo. The tab on the auto-connector bar rides over the top of the leg of the selector lever. Check to see if the auto-connector lever spring is installed OR the trigger is stuck back in the fire position, try very GENTLY tapping it forward with a plastic hammer.

Orion Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 Can you shoot a video and disassemble the trigger, or take pictures at various stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I’m reasonably confident it’s the auto connector or auto sear, but for the life of me (and a local gunsmith) we can’t figure out what’s wrong. This gun functioned flawlessly until I took it apart 3-4 weeks ago to replace the various springs. Video one shows the stripped receiver and parts Video two shows trying to fit the parts in without putting the pins through. https://youtu.be/td4hUk6qPDo?si=JgGsrDtGzH1AqQzl Video three and four are the partsinstalled, (very likely incorrectly, but I’m not sure *why* it’s incorrect). (Frank is already going to get pinged due to it being a reply so I’ll just tap Orion). @Orion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank I. Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 I made a video of mine, note the position of the auto-connector lever, it is higher than the one in your video. Image quality is not very good, but I think it is sufficient. Check the hole that the spring for the auto-connector fits, make sure there isn't part of a spring or spring cap inside the hole.

Outsider Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 Also where are you at? Someone with another reising may not be far from you to help you in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 Try this: Remove the disconnector and the full auto connector. Do just the trigger and sear work properly? If not fix that. If they do work install the disconnector. Does the gun cycle as a semiu-auto. If not fix that. If it works install the FA connector and see if it works. One part at a time till you find the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
