First, I have sent an email to the smith that built this rifle and am waiting on his reply, but wanted to see what the thoughts were here.
This rifle is about 2 years old, 18", 357/38, 3rd gen, straight trigger, safety in place with wire safety spring. I run it in 3-4 matches a month and 4-5 live fire practices a month.
Yesterday at practice I loaded 10 rounds and ran it without issue, until right after, I levered it to make sure it was empty and the trigger stuck all the way back and wouldn't move forward. Later I took it apart and the first thing I saw was the trigger spring had come off the lip it rests on and the safety bar was retracted and wouldn't reset. I disassembled the entire hammer and trigger group looking for any breakage and really didn't see anything obvious other than the trigger spring had a slight bend in it.
Cleaned and reassembled, ran 30 dummies through it without a hitch. So this morning took it out and ran 10 single shots though it, no issue. Loaded 10 and ran a dump, after the tenth round the trigger stuck again.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
CBG
