dieb4iwake 60 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 So since i pull my rifle apart to install the new triggerguard i figured id try to install the BHO again. ARGH i remember why i gave up last time. i can get the spring though the axis pin for the trigger group easy enough, the problem comes when i install the axis pin for the hammer. i dremeled some of the hammer off so there is enough room from side to side for the hammer and the BHO to fit. SO when i go to put the pin through the hammer then the BHO and to the far wall of the receiver, the pin will not go far enough through for the retaining plate to catch the hammer's axis pin. ive taken it all out and tried it and it fits but when all the components are in it just doesnt work no matter what i do or how i wiggle/angle the pin or hammer or anything so WTF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drop that spring in. 2. place the trigger and insert the pin through the trigger and the spring 3. Put the BHO plate in 4. Insert the hammer with spring (tight the spring ends behind the hammer ears with wire for ease) 5. Insert the hammer pin through the hammer and BHO plate 6. Pull up the end of BHO spring till it engages with hook on BHO itself. Done Edited July 8, 2011 by BKLYN_C Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dieb4iwake 60 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 my problem comes in at about 3:20 of the video; the head of the (hammer's) axis pin will not push all the way in so the retaining plate cannot catch i have tried pushing the hammer and spring out of the way like in the video and im still stuck the video doesnt explain why the hammer's axis pin will not go through far enough for the retaining plate to catch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toshbar 36 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 the video doesnt explain why the hammer's axis pin will not go through far enough for the retaining plate to catch The shoulder of the axis pin is hitting the hammer pivot sleeve. Grind some more material off the BHO side of the hammer pivot sleeve so the hammer will slide to the right of the rifle and give the pin enough room to slide in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Where did you buy the Fire Control Group and did you specify BHO if it was Dinzag? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skyeblu 0 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 The only problem with the BHO is that it contacts my finger while on the trigger. The conversion puts it right there. I am thinking of removing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimdigriz 580 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 The only problem with the BHO is that it contacts my finger while on the trigger. That is, but the larger problem is that many BHOs have been reported to pop out and hinder cycling. I got rid of mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am thinking of removing it. I ground mine flush with the receiver. I have to push it with the tip of my finger and get it up into the hole a ways before it will catch.
