Latest and hopefully final update

Bullseye and blue, Thanks for the idea about the lip on the backside of the trigger. I had wondered about taking that off, but wasn't sure so I left it. After seeing your post, I took it apart, filed the lip off, reassembled the pistol and reset the pretravel screw in quite a bit more. It is Awesome...

Latest update

Got It! Ground the front of the trigger down a little and installed a pretravel screw (thanks to the guidance from this site). It made a huge difference in the amount of clearance between the sear and the hammer. It let go nicely but the hammer was rubbing against the sear after it released so I too...

Thanks guys. Yes the gun was purchased new. I have done nothing to the disconnector, other than buff the sides to make sure nothing was dragging on the sides of the frame. Everything you say makes sense and it's got to be a simple fix, it's just that I have to figure it out. Sorry for the constant p...

Update...

Finally got to take the gun to the range. Loaded it up, sighted, pulled the trigger... really nice feel compared to before. Pulled the trigger for the next shot.... Nothing... Tried cycling the gun several times, took out Mags., tried again... Pulled slide back, shells were extracting and being fed ...

Thanks...

Bullseye, Thanks again for your, and everyone else's help. I've looked over it again and you have to be right. The pressure applied from the Mainspring must be enough to flip the hammer forward. The old Volquartsen sear I installed wouldn't work with the gun together so that had to be bad. The new o...

Latest update and a question...

I received the new sear from Volquartsen. I installed it and it was better but it still stuck a little. I could get the hammer to release if I pressed on it a little but it still didn't work like I thought it should. Now the funny part... I have been spending a bunch of time on this site as it has a...

Thanks guys, I took it apart when I got home this morning to double check to see if the disconnector was binding. This thing has been bugging me for 3 days now. Everything on the disconnector looked and worked fine and I can see exactly what you're talking about with the trigger bottoming against th...

Thanks for the reply. I think I've checked everything in that thread except the part of holding the trigger in while checking the disconnector for movement up and down. I'll do that and maybe buff the flat edges of the disconnector tomorrow as I have to go to work this evening. One thing I did notic...

Need help with Mark III sear

I'm new to this forum as I found it from a link on Rimfire Central. I recently purchased a Volquartsen target sear, Clark Bushing, and Edge Extractor for my Mark III Target pistol. I wanted to help the trigger pull as it's terrible. Everything went together pretty well except- my hammer won't drop! ...
