FWB Sport trigger replacement

[gtfreight]

Yes Vic,
As I have just discovered, it's the one with the circlip. I now need to find a new circlip. Will the trigger function properly without it?

I got my trigger spring from Maccari.

I got my trigger spring from Maccari.

With customs duty and postage it's cost me over £83. And that's with opting for the cheapest $5.95 postage.

The trigger will function without the circlip.
Just for devilment I decided to make a new trigger out of some aluminium flat bar as the old plastic trigger would allow the rifle to fire with the safety on if any excess pressure was put on the trigger pull. It worked. Took a long time with files, drills, hacksaws, vice etc but it worked. Maybe not as aesthetically pleasing as the Macarri version but it works a treat. I used the old plastic trigger as a guide, just allowing more 'meat' on the upper part that functions with the safety slide. Time will tell how long it will last.
Cheers, Phil (too much time on my hands!)

Sorry for the delay in replying Ian,

I wanted to wait until I got the gun back together before I was absolutely sure it was cured.

It was the safety lever itself, the lip that engages the trigger was at the wrong angle, if you can imagine the lip as a ramp extending out without leveling off, that's how it was instead of a smaller ramp that levels out half way up (I can only imagine that this lip has been caught on something when the gun was stripped down), which caused the safety lever to slip off the trigger as soon as any pressure was applied to the trigger. I hope this make sense.

I now have a 100% functioning 124, as well as it being asthetically very pleasing.

Thanks for your help last weekend Ian.
