I posted this in another forum, but I figued that NES Brain Trust shoud be consulted, as well.
My pre-war A5 (ser no 222xxx) stopped working. Suddenly, in the middle of a round of Trap. Trigger would not pull, felt like the safety was engaged, though it wasn't. By backing the magzine tube nut off, with the bolt in battery, so that it was about 1/8 inch forward of where it shoudl be, I could pull the trigger, and cause the hammer to fall.
I took out the trigger group, found a little cleaning was needed, no obvious broken pieces.
I was able to replicate the problem be moving the safety sear (Browning nomencalture)
So....do I need to replace the safety sear ( not the external safety) the link that impinges on the safety sear, or both.
THoughts?
