Doubs,

You have the correct sequence when things are working properly.

"As the receiver moves forward during the load cycle, the spring-loaded disconnector pin contacts the side of the trigger lever and is pushed back into it's recess in the trigger bar. The pin is held in it's recessed position until the trigger is released, at which time the trigger lever goes back to it's rest position and releases the pin which then moves forward. Now the trigger, when pressed, will push the lever against the pin to release the firing pin once more."

Now assume we have fired the pistol, the receiver has gone home, but we have not yet released the trigger. We will proceed from there with a trigger bar that sticks too far in. When the trigger is released, the disconnector pin is either blocked outright by the lever or drags so much on the little ramp at the back of the lever that it cannot move to its home position. The disconnector pin remains compressed in the sear bar, it does not move either behind or in front the trigger lever. The sear remains disconnected and pistol will not fire.

This is the condition I had on my Swiss style Mauser re-intro with a Swiss trigger lever in it. The Swiss trigger lever and the Mauser re-intro trigger lever are not interchangable. When the two trigger levers are held side by side and examined it can be seen that the angle is a bit sharper on the Swiss lever so that the upper arm extends further into the pistol when in the home potision. In this actual case, with the Swiss lever in place the pistol would generally always fire the first round and then it was a fifty fifty chance of firing any round the pistol loaded from the magazine by itself. The actual difference in the frame and sideplate is that the re-intro is a bit deeper from the trigger lever hinge pin down to the trigger itself. Took a bit of effort and finagling to get all this sorted out.

A bit of credit is due to Luger Doc for his patience on the effort and finagling part, we were sending trigger levers back and forth for a while.
