Broomhandle disaster....

Stripped via the awkward way that I mentioned earlier -- hammer down and push out the sear spring/hammer pivot. I did not have any special tool.

How could the bolt refuse to unlock ...... disassemble the gun, take out the lock work, hook the bolt lock on top of the lock work, and push down / release the bolt lock a few times, the rear end of bolt lock should fall into the large notch on top of the lock work when you push it hard, and returns to it's up position when you release it. If it does not work, it's easier to view what's going on in this mode, because everything is open for viewing in this mode. Hope it helps. In assembled mode, it's almost MI (mission impossible, from movie

) to figure out why.

I have never seen a bolt lock that cannot be pushed down in this mode. I did see two of them cannot jump back when I release it. One has MM bolt lock and another one has forced match bolt lock.

Similar way can help ID triggering/sear problem. Disassemble the gun, put lock work back into the grip frame without the barrel/bolt lock. Now the sear movement is viewable when you pull and release the trigger.
