Thanks Kutter I will check that today.

I put a little heat on the trigger while clamped hard in some aluminum vice jaws and it bent back with no problem. I only bent it enough to restore usability and allow my fingers to fit between them. I didn't want to bend it any further, at least not until I secure a replacement.

Action is all back together. Just waiting on some acraglas to repair the old but plate and some tight bond II for the forend split repair. I soaked some non waxed dental floss in acetone and ran it thru the crack in the wood several times.

I never realized so many parts were serialized, including the wood.
