My trigger fails to reset each time I fire (holding trigger to rear after each shot, as correct follow through.)
Disassembly and inspection shows the sear catch surface on the back of the hammer is rounded of. I pulled out a spare fire control set I have to attempt to remedy the problem, which it did. During this process, I noticed that the "new" replacement set has matching waffenampts. These are Eagle/359. I checked the set that I had just pulled out of the rifle and noticed that the hammer and sear only have a "Circle V" mark and not other numbers. The "old" trigger has what looks like Eagle/ 254, but it is a bit fuzzy. Can someone educate me on the significance of each of these markings Please? I am attaching photos below.
Old set first,
"New" Trigger marking. Hammer and sear are marked same.
I hope to re-install my original "Circle V" marked sear arm since it's trigger adjustment screw isn't staked and I can fine tune the trigger pull. The "new" Wa359 sear bar adjustment screw is staked, and it looks like someone has already tried forcing the screw as the head is boogered up a bit. Trigger pull with it is very light (2.5-3 Lbs) but also very mushy. No crisp break at all. I think the problem child is the sear reset engagement surface on the back of the hammer which looks rounded off. I am going to replace just the hammer and put back in the original sear arm and trigger and see if that fixes the issue, plus allow me to adjust the trigger as needed. Thanks for any help.
