Prewar BSA double sear trigger problem

[stevegv8]

It's all speculation until you get the condition report but there are a couple of places for spares, perhaps Knibbs & Protek are the ones that come to mind first. Your existing parts may provide a basis for repair or perhaps act as a source for dimensions should parts need to be made...?

Hopefully the creek won't turn out to be as deep or wide as you fear.

It will be interesting to see what they find as the cause of the problem, might even be repairable without too much trouble

Afternoon, I already tried all the usual places so copying or finding some one with one tucked away is about my only chance.
I get the impression a lump is broken off and missing or measurements could have been takenn

well oddly enough I do believe I have a spare double sear trigger in my parts box, Will check when I get home!

Hi Steve,

There are usually two small springs on these safety sears. I have recently discovered that as they are slightly different in length, a previous owner may have reassembled the springs the wrong way round, so this is worth checking before you fork out on a new unit.

Possibly not the cause but worth trying.

Kind regards,

John

That would be great thanks I might be a bit excited!

Partly to bump this up I'm wondering if this double sear type trigger is one type only or were there variations over the models for the period they were produced?
Finding one might be hard enough so hoping it's not a particular version I'm looking for.

I'm yet to explore John's spring suggestion so here's hoping.

Steve, I know you are going to take a look at the two spring suggestion but have you had a report back to know if your example has a broken / damaged component? Maybe if you can get a picture up it might be of some help in sourcing parts if needed.

Some information here that you may find useful ?

Lakey thanks, I was just looking at this for a second time and I see mine is the trigger on the right as I have the rivet (having retrieved every thing from my gun man, will update post further down) but I read this as that version has just one spring? Mine has the recess' to take upper and lower springs, both of which it has, although they are certainly non original as one is cut down with no nice flat and I feel they are too heavy too.
Did they omit one but leave the recess' avoiding a re-design?

Thanks

He (repair man) is looking into my options before I go back to see it and get clear info on it's issues, he is known for dramatic exaggeration but I took it to him because when I got it as a project I was told it had undisclosed problems in that some parts may be missing or broken.
Not having knowledge of the double sear trigger, I wouldn't have a clue if something was missing so I thought this was the route to go as a starter. If a solution is arrived at I may rebuild it myself.
Once he comes back to me with better info I'll go and suss it out myself so I'll know more about what I need or can do.
I hope I'll have a better understanding before too long.
