Remington Model 31 trigger parts

[C.308]

Hi CGN.

I got my hands on a cool old Remington model 31 that needs some love.

Looks like I have some missing parts in the trigger group and bolt.

Not much info out there except a disassembly video and a couple pictures on Google. I also found an exploded view of the parts.

The main problem is the slide doesn't lock. And I can also see a couple other small parts in the exploded view that are not present in mine but looks like they should be.

Looks like there should be a spring and plunger at the rear of the slide release lever and another U shaped spring that looks like it fits in some grooves on the inside face of the release lever. Maybe more missing, still trying to find pics of a known good example to compare. Aside from basic disassembly I can't find any detailed info specific to the trigger.

As for the bolt, the side of the ejection port there is a circular hole with a plunger and spring. There must be something that fits ther but I'm not sure. I saw a video and on that bolt there were dual extractors. Mine just has the one extractor but I gues the second extractor must go in that hole there held and would be held in by the plunger and spring?

Any advice on where I could find some parts? It appears this gun will absolutely drop the hamer out of battery so I don't want to mess around. That slides gotta lock up. It either gets the correct parts or it stays in the safe looking pretty.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I have parts. Is it an early or later gun. Later guns have the rear of the trigger inset into the stock. Earlier guns the trigger is farther forward. You can probably buy another gun for less than the parts will cost. PM me, I think I have an manual in PDF as well. If I can find it I will post it.
Found some of it. This should keep you busy for a minute of two.

Here's disassembly for the Model 31:
Open action and unscrew the barrel lock nut (part 15) to the left.
Turn barrel 90% to the left and remove it forward.
Push out trigger plate pin (74) from Right to Left and turn gun bottom up.
Slide trigger plate (42) forward until trigger plate studs (48) align with slots in sides of receiver. If gun is cocked, press action bar lock (56) to release trigger plate before moving trigger plate forward.
Lift trigger plate out.
Lift out left and right cartridge stops (39 & 40) from inside receiver walls.
Move fore end (81) rearward until projection at rear of slide (68) is even with trigger plate holes in receiver sides.
Pull upward on slide while moving fore end forward to free action bar (12) from slide.
With fore end and breechblock fully forward, swing front end of carrier outward until about perpendicular to receiver and press ends together to disengage pivots.
Lift the carrier out.
Press ejector (37) fully into it's slot and lift out breechbolt.
Swing ejector rearward and lift from it's slot in the receiver.
Drift out the firing pin retainer pin (73) from Left to Right, and remove firing pin (750 and spring (76) from back end of bolt.
Drift out extractor pin (78) from bottom of bolt and remove left extractor (79) and spring (77).
Insert small screwdriver in back of right extractor (71) and pry back extractor plunger (69), then push screwdriver forward, pushing extractor out of slot.
Remove extractor plunger and spring (70).

With hammer (57) in fired (forward) position, drift out mainspring pin (46) and remove safety spring (44) and safety plunger (43) from lower hole.
Remove mainspring (64) and mainspring follower (63) from upper hole.
Remove safety (45).
Drive out hammer pin (59) and push hammer forward and down until rear of hammer link (62) is out of slot in trigger plate.
Pull hammer link rearward disengaging hammer from action bar lock spring (55).
NEVER LIFT HAMMER UPWARD UNTIL IT HAS BEEN DISENGAGED FROM THIS SPRING OR THE SPRING WILL BE BENT OR BROKEN.
Lift away hammer.
Drift out trigger pin (60) and remove action bar lock with spring attached.
Trigger lock plunger (53) and trigger lock spring (54) may be removed.
Rest of trigger plate disassembly is obvious.
Reassemble gun in reverse.
When reassembling mainspring, mainspring follower, safety spring, and safety plunger, it is easier to insert these parts first, then after replacing the mainspring, use a short wood dowel to compress the safety plunger.
Then reinsert safety.

This is the reverse of what seems obvious, which is replacing the safety THEN the spring loaded parts..
