Since I havent posted much in the last little while, I thought you might find this interesting
Almost new Spanish 16 bore, with a stiff price tag I might add, I figured the innards would be a bit sloppy but this is a bit too much
Whos the maker you ask?.....well, Ill just say that it starts with A and ends with A
This is the correct placement of the sear sitting squarely on the trigger blade
The right side has a big gap, and a sloppy fit btween the pin and the hole in the sear, this creates a problem, notice I can fit a .015 feeler gage (thats 15 thou) too much
This is what happens because of the big gapand the poor pin fit, the sear slips out and it jams against the inside wall of the stock
Well here you gonot as easy as the pictures make it look but turned out perfect.
Turn a brass slave post and temporarily solder in sear in place to ensure perfect boring alignment
Bore out old hole
Perfectly bored oversize hole
Turn new tool steel sleeve
Turn new tool steel sleeve...lap fit inside and outside diameters, sleeve to screw and screw to sear
Trim sleeve to proper width (wider than sear) to take up side to side slack and chamfer for welding
Laser fuse sleeve ( both sides ) to sear
Perfect fitno lateral movement, also (not pictured) trigger pull needed to be re-set as it was too light once sear found its new position
Better than new....I thought!
