I don't think the problem is with the safety spring. We've tried all different size springs in there, including a modern factory item, and none of them quite worked perfectly.
I reckon the trigger unit it's self needs a strip / clean / deburr / relube, as Mark from Hereford pointed out.
If I'd had my HW spares box with me, we could have quickly confirmed or discounted that theory by trying a different trigger unit in the gun.
It's annoying that we couldn't get it going there and then for you, Mel.
Thanks go to Mick and Shirl for a great weekend and also to all my dinner guests on Saturday evening. Just a shame that not everyone could fit into the awning. Next time we'll organise it earlier and better.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level & then beat you with experience.

That jolly fine chap we were talking with was none other than Neil Price, Mel. Now retired gunsmith but he still writes the technical strip-down and fettling guides for Airgunner Magazine.
That safety spring shown on the Chambers site will be incorrect methinks, John, with Mel's gun having the "single sided" safety. I wonder if Protek may have one? Or, as the chaps were saying, if you could source another little spring (I think the chaps were saying that there was a little recess for the spring to fit in?).

Don't know without having a proper play, John.
I'd say spring first. Then, if that didn't work, maybe borrow a trigger unit from another gun and see if that helps.
Of course, Mel could always just omit the safety catch anyway and job done, but I think he prefers it back to how it should be?

How awesome is Mick? -- He only arranged an Avro Lancaster fly-past for us on the Sunday!
And no, it wasn't on it's way to or from an air show, I checked.
Lancaster!

Not so bad, thanks Tone.
Those motogp commentators we were talking about - of course you were right about the long-standing Toby Moody, with Julian Ryder, on Eurosport. I got it wrong, sorry. Don't know what I was thinking...
The 'less than able' commentator I was thinking of (who only had the motogp job for a few races in 2009), was Carlton Kirby. He's the one who does the cycling tours, and the Le Mans cars... Carlton 'keep it sensible' Kirby...
Er Guys.... if Papa's correct on this and I've no reason to doubt him, why did the Quigley Collective mistake an American twin engined, mass produced, twin tailed medium bomber from Roy Chadwick's four engined Masterpiece ?
