FWB Sport Plastic Trigger, Safety not working

[Vic Thompson]

AS title, the safety on my Plastic Trigger FWB Sport doesn't work properly, and I've had several others with this particular fault. I believe that it is due to the safety Slide damaging the top of the Trigger. Has anyone successfully repaired a Plastic Trigger by building up the Trigger in the area of damage. If so, how, and as it a durable repair.

Thanks, Vic Thompson.

No ,but I had my safety carefully removed and put in my spares box.
Seemed to sort the problem.

Much rather have no safety than a dodgy one

Mine had a safety spring that looked like a flight of steps, which had it catching in the recess & not allowing the slide to come back.

This was the main problem with my Sport triggers. The spring has to be free in its socket, so make sure this area is cleaned up. The spring has to be in good condition - at one point I considered making a small guide for it so it does not fail due to lateral pressure - so get a nice new one. The other reason the spring has to be in good condition is that the depth of the sear engagement is dependent on the spring pressure, so the spring has to be strong enough and free to move in order to keep the trigger operating safely.

Macarri in the US sells replacement Sport safety springs. Not sure what postage costs but it can't be that much.
