Artillery Fired Unexpectedly

cjack, It sounds as though the overlap of your firing pin with the internal shoulder of the sear (trigger bar) was not sufficient to withstand your hit on the toggle assy. Perhaps something as simple as a stonger sear spring might solve this problem, but more than likely your need either a different firing pin or sear. If your LPO8 is all matching, rather than just changing parts, you can find a gunsmith to either built up these parts or square up the mating surfaces. Tom H.
