Aimco Luger Failure to reset trigger

G.T.

Taking yours and supernaht's advice I studied the problem and went through a lot of testing but what ended up fixing the issue was filing a bevel to the shoe that contacts the sear. What was happening is the spring loaded pin was getting captured by the arm and shoe and not allowing the arm to rest in its pocket on the side plate. By adding a bevel to the trailing edge now when the side comes forward and you release the trigger the sear pin can push by the lever returning it to its proper location in the side plate. Glad I persevered! I was getting pretty frustrated.

BTW, on Aimco Lugers the sear bar itself is actually pinned to the frame and the pin is "blind" so there seems to be no way to drive it out. I think I will end up flipping this because it seems if I break it I will never find replacement parts for these Texas guns.
