Hi i should have explained better
The unset trigger works just fine
If i set the trigger it will fire some of the time
The other times the small blade returns into the trigger shoe with
a dull " click " but the rifle does not fire
I have read any and all posts i can find but no information
on this problem
thanks Sydney

Also came across this, if you haven't already.

Hi I don t think it is dirt as the trigger has never been installed
The adjustment screw needs a .050 allen key that i will look for in the morning
If that doesn t work i will remove and check the trigger shoe
Thanks for the help

Since it's a 30-40 yo trigger, might try a soak in an appropriate solvent to dissolve the dried oil and crud. A little dried oil goes a long way to contribute to fubar.

Thanks next thing on my list

YEARS AGO, I INSALLED A NUMBER OF THOSE TRIGGERS..ENDED UP REPLACING EVERY ONE! MAYBE I WAS UNLUCKY?

In order for the set trigger to function reliably, the trigger has to be set fairly light when unset. The trigger shoe is too short and light. I have one here but I replaced the set trigger shoe with another and just use the trigger unset. Regards, Bill

Hi Bill-- the unset trigger is set at 32 oz--should i lighten the unset trigger ??
then readjust the set trigger ?
Thanks for the help

It should trip at 2 pounds. One thing that can be done is to remove the set trigger shoe and remove the spring. With the spring removed, check to be sure the shoe pivots freely on it's pin. If movement is impeded, it cushions the transfer of inertia and the set trigger won't work. At the same time, check that the spring is not bent or binding.
Setting the main trigger down to 24 ounces would probably work but you should not have to set the trigger that light. They usually won't work at 3 pounds but 2 should be OK. Regards, Bill.

Hi Bill set the unset trigger to just over 2 lbs and readjusted
the set trigger---works just fine
Thanks again for the help
