P08 Trigger Problem

jfxcushman · 03-08-2012, 12:36 PM

I have had the same problem with my brother's shooter. I realized after screwing around with the trigger lever that the problem was a very loose takedown lever, and not enough pressure on the sideplate . I carefully bent the takedown lever so that it locked the sideplate much more snuggly, and that seemed to work. I used a vise and pliers with adequate protection for the metal.

By take down lever, do you mean the locking bolt? I've attached a parts map. The locking bolt is number 025.

yes Walt, that is the locking bolt ( I call it the takedown lever). If you can easily rotate that lever back over the sideplate, then it may be too loose. I wouldn't bend it too much at first, I overdid the first time and couldn't rotate it at all.
