Well I have to say that I've seen it all now! My friend came over with an aparently unfired Norinco SKS that he said wasn't firing when cocked and it wasn't. We took it apart and on comparison with another trigger group discovered that the disconnector(#6) had been filed down, or something like that. The area in question is where the disconnector rises at the angle and is directly underneath where the hammer(#1)sits when in the trigger guard. In essence, the horizontal area at the crux(where the "6" is in photo) is filed flat with even a litlle dishing. There is no hump.It seems this causes the disconnector to lift higher underneath the hammer thus altering the angle that the trigger bar?(#8) contacts, or should I say does not contact the sear(#10). Am I close? Like I said the gun looks unfired and there are no other marks of bubba having snuck under the wire. I'll start with a new disconnector from marstar and see if this helps. Is this someones attempt at FA? Who knows. Any other ideas for repair would be appreciated. Cheers Pete
