I've never done it bronko - never needed it. But it looks like a pretty simple fix if you need it.

There is a part missing out of your drawing that alleviates some of the problem... The 'fly' is an integral part nowdays.

It's not my drawing Sabotloader. That's and article from one of the old Muzzle Blasts magazines I recently acquired.

that'd work on many of the single trigger rifles. I think though i'd try some welding before i used an epoxy. I'd prefer a bit more strength. But damn handy if you're in a fix.

Corrrect Semi, i knew that but folks that might look at their lock today would, in most cases, find that additional part.

Still the work suggested is a valuable point in many cases... especially when not using the set trigger...
