CTI Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I bought new trigger spring and after putting it on,it will not catch the cocking piece when I close the bolt. Does the spring need to be modified to come up higher to catch?.its not touching but just a hair. when it does cock its very unsafe, the rifle can be fired just by bumping it hard.trying to figure out if it needs some modifing anbody else have this problem?

Spiris Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I know that Mosins are very tricky when it comes to the trigger. From your explanation, I take it that you have tried to lighten the trigger pull and/or reduce take up? I would reinstall the original spring to be safe. There is info on lightening the trigger pull online, if that is your need. Maybe someone here wants to take a stab at it. As far as I know, there is no commercial replacement trigger readily available for the Mosin. It's better to be safe. Spiris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTI Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Its a new spring that just doesnt come high enough and engage more solidly. I think Ive got it fixed. Still gonna do some more work on it just to be sure. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
