- In lalaland, that is Ottawa.
I have a 1988 10/22 carbine that I acquired earlier this year. Not being happy with the trigger and the mag release, I bought a replacment Volquarten hammer, bushings, ejector, mag release, Tuffer Buffer and did the Dremel alteration to the stamped plate.
After a discouraging number of tries, I got it all back together again and functioning. My most serious problem was that every time that I took the action out of the stock, if I was not careful, pins would slide out. I thus kept the action upright while I place a small square of vinyl electrical tape over the ends on each pin. I also had on devil of a time with the bolt, cocking lever and recoil spring getting them back in place after replacing the exractor but finally succeeded.
During the time that I fussed trying to get things right, I came very close to raising a cry for help, only my pride prevented it.
I have not had the courage to take out the pin in the trigger group and sear. Yet, Vol. with the replacement hammer, supplied a small spring which they say is for the pin which forces the trigger forward after firing.
Comes the question>>>
Is it worth while for me to disassemble the trigger group just to replace the spring and maybe polish the end of the pin bearing on the rear of the trigger?
I can't imagine these parts being more difficult than those relating to the hammer, mag ejection lever etc. but, I have been wrong several times in my life.
If I do get the courage to examine the workings of the trigger, sear etc. it just might give me the experience to look at the sear etc., not necessarily doing the JB Weld improvement.
Thank you
