Title: Bad day at the range
Post by: Sully on August 29, 2018, 06:25:25 PM
The weather around here finally broke from the 90's with 80% humidity so I decided to hit the range. I rolled up around 11 and I had the whole range to myself. That should have been a red flag right there, I never get that lucky. I proceeded to get my stuff all setup and start sighting in my rifle. 29 flawless rounds and everything is going great. Round number 30 loads, I squeeze the trigger and nothing. I jack it out of the chamber, put it back in the mag, reload still nothing. I can squeeze the trigger and it returns so I know that spring is still working fine. I decide to remove the trigger assembly to get a better look and I noticed I can't see the trigger bar at all. Sure enough it's broken.  cry1 I've checked a few places online but I can't find a replacement anywhere. Can this be rewelded? Does anyone have any spares they're hoarding?

Hey...look at the positive side, a bad day at the range is better than a good day at work or doing the honey do list or cleaning under the refrigerator or plunging a plugged toilet or getting a colon exam or............. chuckles1

Check fleabay......some wanker, some where is likely to have scrapped out a perfectly good rifle out for his monetary gain. bat1

Yup, search eBay, GunBroker, Numrich, Apex Gun parts, Liberty tree collectors, Sarco, Desert fox sales, etc.

Sully, can you post a pic of the broken part? I have an assortment of spare parts but would like clarification of what you call the trigger bar.

It's not the broken part in question but this is the part I'm looking for. I've searched high and low, but still nothing. There's a complete trigger assembly on fleabay for $165 as a last resort I guess. Image courtesy of marstar.

Here is your part. Numrich has them in stock. Maybe you found one?
