    I think I've isolated it to the spur on the plunger rocker. Compared to the reference pistol, and an understanding how the trigger sear works, if the plunger is too long, the sear can't rest on its...

    Somehow fit a lock frame somewhat successfully, except for the lower sear, sounds like the trigger is falling off the sear before it pushes the hammer sear up. It appears to have been filed more...

    I'd almost be tempted to make it up to resemble something like an RIC carbine as a placeholder, or go all in as a classic sporter, see the Lee Speed.
