Eric Krewson:
Could be several things but I am not a good source of info.
You should post your question over at the ALR or ML Forum site, those guys will know the answer right off.
Parnell:
Ok, thanks Eric. Will do.
Eric Krewson:
Have you blacked your sear and seen if it makes any contact with the hole in your lock mortise to accommodate it? I ran into this one time, I though I had everything fitted just right but my lock wouldn't trip, a little black oil lamp soot on the sear showed a surprising amount of wood contact that I needed to remove. Another time I found I didn't drill my sear hole deep enough and my sear was bottoming out in the hole.
Parnell:
Yes, I had, Eric. It did turn out to be the trigger levers just needing more filing. I took it slow and kept checking it and it finally fit properly with being set while also minimizing creep. It seems real solid now so I am pleased. Time to pin the trigger guard and then on to the patch box, which is another new thing for me so I am excited to progress in that.

I should know better at this point than to look at this kind of post, now I'm subscribed, and likely to end up doing this myself at some point. Looks great so far!
