CaptainBeaky Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks, Roland - there are a few of these scans around the web, of various issue dates. This one has a nice clear schematic page, which should blow up to A3 - helpful for stripping the trigger group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Ok, the Durafix kit turned up, testing was done, workshop time has happened. Second set of new ears, cast in place. I also repaired some damage to the top of the trigger block, caused by the bolt carrier, due to the trigger block moving up and down. You might also notice the shiny end of the action locking lever, which has been built up with a dab of weld, because that was also damaged, by the same cause - the movement of the trigger block was reducing the engagement of the action lock, causing it to wear on one side, and bite into the trigger block beside the action lever slot. I did a lot more polishing after this photo, but forgot to take any more photos until I had finished putting it all together. Now all reassembled, and waiting for next weekend, when I can shoot it and see if this repair holds up. (Fingers crossed!) I can now strip the trigger mechanism down to its component parts in less than 5 minutes, due to the amount of practice I have had...
