Yeah, I kind of got that impression. It would require a new longer spring to fix that, or else TIG weld some more metal onto the disconnector.

The problem here is almost certainly in the disconnector - I peened the sear out a little bit to tighten up the fit of the disconnector on the sear and it changed the problem - it made it worse. Appears to be fitting just a little too tight, and restricting its movement - easy to fix, but I'm not removing any metal until I am sure since I don't know if I can get any more parts if I mess this up.

I don't see much chance of getting a new disconnector from what I have seen, nor a spring, so I guess I will have to work with what I have. Looks like the sear needs to have more downward tension than the setup is presently providing. I need to understand exactly how that disconnector works before monkeying with it further - I still don't see exactly how it interacts with the trigger below it, does the tigger hold it further back than its position in the picture above? Sure would be nice to find a cutaway drawing or something that shows the operation of the gun. Anybody have one?

Thanks for the help!
