95R, Since you say that the disconnector spring pressure is normal, the trigger lever inside the side plate appearantly is not moving out of its way. I'd remove it and clean out any accumulated crude inside its channel in the side plate. At the same time you may want to increase the bevel on the rear of the top arm, to make it easier for the disconnector to push it out of the way for the next shot. If your tigger lever is an original, DO NOT try to bend it, as it will break before it will bend. As a last resort you can send it to me for a $50 trigger job. TH
