Thanks Dan.
In the meantime, I managed to find my old sales thread for a Mk1 action which includes close ups of the trigger assembly, cocked and uncocked.
See
here.
It shows a mod I made to improve the trigger function (I added the little horizontal spring and guide on the left),
but I think it also shows the missing 4mm to which you refer, I believe. The upper sear on this gun is a "T" shape, whereas on later guns it is an "L" shape. Interestingly enough, Chambers don't show this "T" shaped sear on their drawings.
P.S. Just checked on Knibbs' site and they do show the "T" shaped sear on the Mk1!!! See
here.
It looks like Chambers have got this wrong.
