Gentlemen,
Enclosed are pictures of the lock that I received in my Trapper Pistol Kit.
While dry fitting the lock and trigger I noticed that the, "Tripper" for the trigger had a funny twist to it.
When I installed the triggers I found, there was no way that they would engage the tripper to drop the
hammer. What would you suggest I do about this defect as I don't own a torch, so I am unable to make
an attempt at straightening the piece to it's proper shape, also I am afraid of voiding any warrenty.
JCR.
Good Morning,
That piece is called a sear. And as part of the kit build, you need to heat and bend the sear to the needed positions.
Typically is to be bent toward the front trigger. But it can slightly vary per kit. You will not void a warranty by bending
this as that is how they are to be built and fit. You would need to heat the arm piece with a torch until it is cherry red,
and then slowly bend it to needed positions. Do not bend it without heating it, as this will cause it to break. Or, if you
wish to, you order a replacement sear to see if it will come straighter than your kit one, by calling Customer Service at
860-388-4656 with the model name and serial number of your gun, and we will get it on order for you. A replacement
sear Is part number 70504 and cost is $9.35 plus shipping, for a new replacement. It is currently out of stock however,
and lead time is 30-60 days, starting form day you place the order, as they are coming from our factory in Spain. But,
that is how the kit guns come, again, as it is part of the building and gunsmithing process that you may need to heat
and manipulate the sear pin to the position needed to operate correctly. Or again, you can order a replacement by calling
our Customer Service Department directly.
Thank You.
If you have further questions or concerns, then call Customer Service at the number I provided above.
