Mossberg 702 help

[boychuia]

Good day fellow CGNers,

Well i've done it this time. Last time out at the range with my Mossberg 702 and my nephew, I noticed a grinding feeling in the trigger. Figured it was some sand or other debris. (even though the rifle has never touched ground)

Instead of performing my usual cleaning process, i decided to take it further and no matter how much high pressure air and rem oil I used, I was not able to get all the debris out.

I should have been more careful to take pics when I took the trigger assembly apart but live and learn i did not.

Anyone know how to put back together a 702 trigger assembly? I'm hoping to avoid having to take my 22 into the gunsmith. I have been unable to find exploded <--(bad choice of words) views on line, and the manual really is of no help.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Whoa! I see what you mean - I found this http://stevespages.com/pdf/mossberg_702.pdf, but I suspect that's the manual you already have. Kind of a burn, giving you an exploded diagram that doesn't show the trigger group parts, just the whole assembly.

Hopefully, you'll find someone here that's done it!

There's some discussion about this here.. http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-517247.html

It seems you're not alone! A brief read through the thread makes it seem that the info might be useful for you. Good luck!

BTW, when you ARE successful (I know you will be, eventually), take some pics & post a thread on it., You'll be famous...

Thanks for the info!

Wow what a pain in the a**! Time to get a ruger instead, that was the worst trigger assembly i've ever had to deal with.

Thanks again

Looks like that's what everyone else found, too. I note the advice one poster gave - "don't even try to take one of these apart".

Been there (not with this model, though), done that.

Learned to say some realllly bad words, in combinations that were not only patently obscene, but anatomically impossible without surgery...
