    Here’s a view of the trigger frame that shows the seals for the internal airway and the sear and the black detent (?). Note there is a spring under the detent.

      Confused my springs in rebuild but have since corrected and update the information. The detent spring is the shorter spring, the longer spring is in rear assembly.

    This reminds me of the lower tube assembly on a Palmer, just on a march larger and easier to deal with scale!

      There is a spring sandwiched between the halves and a mostly circular disc:

      And here is the disc in its proper position. I do. Not know if the flat spot needs to be in a particular place or not.

          Then you slide all the stuff back together, paying close attention to the screw holes:

          Then add the feedneck back on:
          Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_9665.jpg Views:	0 Size:	1.28 MB ID:	468123 Put on the barrel assembly:

          Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_9666.jpg Views:	0 Size:	1.13 MB ID:	468122

          And reattach the trigger frame.

                      This is great, thank you. I’ve recently ordered one.
