Yeah, the trigger casette removal was nice and easy; great design. Also meant we could de-cock the thing when it jammed. It even has a design such that should the casette move away from the rifle, it wouldn't actually fire... Really clever.

Okay this is how it works.
The compression tube when drawn back just contacts the abt button & you will hear the clicks.
Toward the end of the levers travel you will feel slightly more resistance, this is when the unit towards the trigger behind the abt is picked up.
Almost at the very end of the cocking stroke the silver bar the ABT sits on passes through. ( will notice a cut out on the silver bar) the unit with the screws is picked up by the end of the cut out (theres a tang on the unit with the two screws) & the tang the other end is pushed into the recess on the button. pust the ABT button down you will see it.
On the forward stroke of the cocking lever towards the end, the other end of the cut out engages the unit with the two screws pushing it forwards thus releasing the ABT.
Hope this helps

hi Dave, yeah, we sussed it out (but you'd have saved me 30 mins of deduction if you were there ! )
However the problem is that on the return stroke, the slide that nudges the ABT back into play gets pushed out by the notched rod too early, preventing closure of the lever. So we adjusted the slide using those two litte screws, but then it wouldn't releas at the begining of the retrun stroke. In the middle kinda worked sometimes, then not at all.
So I think that the problerm is the dog that pushes the notched rod backwards and forwards is being pushed slightly too far forwards before it is "left behind" by the comp tube - something to do with the interface between the comp tube and the rear part of the mechanism...
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
