Enfield No1 Mk3 Trigger Issue

[frasercow]

Hey all.

I've got a No 1 Mk 3 and for some reason the trigger won't move, it's just stuck all the way back. It doesn't matter what I do with the bolt, the trigger doesn't move. I tried another bolt in it and it still did the same thing so it's definitely an issue with the trigger assembly.


Thanks in advance.

Disassemble the rifle and post a picture of the trigger section.

You probably have the trigger installed in front of the sear instead of behind. Remove the front and rear trigger guard screws and remove the trigger guard. Hold the trigger forward and reinstall

I really don't know how it happened. I have a picture of the gun when I first got it, and the trigger was in it's normal un-cocked position. I haven't taken it apart since I've owned it or even shot it for that matter. How it got moved is a mystery, because the way it looks to me is that it couldn't possibly be in that position unless someone put it together wrong. Anyway it's back to normal now, I suppose I'll have to find a new hiding place for my keys and question my brother who keeps his MK3 in my safe as well.


Thanks for the help guys!
