Here are some pictures I hope can illustrate my problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
If I assemble the Lock Frame and Locking Block into the Body, the Trigger functions like I think it should. As can be seen in the last three pictures, the Trigger will hold the Sear Bar away from the Hammer with the Locking Block in the "ready to fire" position. Moving the Locking Block to the "discharge" position disengages the Disconnector from the Trigger as is should.
When the Lock Frame and Locking Block are assembled onto the Barrel and Extension, the Locking Block pushed the plunger far enough back to move the Disconnector rearward until the trigger barely touches it and just flicks it enough to sometimes release the Hammer. This is the "clicking" noise I hear and feel. I tried to show in the pictures how much the Locking Block moves on the Locking Frame when assembled on the Barrel Extension by drawing a line on the two parts with a felt pen in the second and third picture. Is this excessive?
In the first picture you can see how the Plunger has slightly moved the Disconnector back in the Sear Bar and exposed the little tab that holds it in place.
I've been told a lot of hand fitting went into these pistols, and I'm thinking that my parts just need to be fitted better.
Thanks for any opinions,
Marc
