New to me Broomhandle

[alvin]

In your original description "The hammer doesn't always drop when the triggger is pulled. You can feel a very distinct 'click' but nothing will happen." -- so firing did not happen, barrel, bolt lock, rocker plunger did NOT move. Nothing pushed sear arm away from the trigger and the trigger disconnected from the sear arm simply by pulling it (I guess that's where the 'click' came from). Trigger and sear arm fitting is needed on this gun, so the trigger won't disconnect by itself before the sear is raised high enough to release the hammer.

I decided to try a different plunger on my broomhandle, still thinking that it shouldn't be pushing the disconnector back when assembling the pistol to the barrell and extension. I orded one from KB International and got it today. Again I have to give this company an A+. I was very pleased to see that the new plunger was actually shorter than my original as shown in the pictures. Now when I assemble the pistol the trigger makes solid contact with the disconnector and lifts the sear bar without disconnecting unless the barrell and extension is pushed back into a discharge position.
