No.1 Nk3 trigger work. Where to start.

[newcastle]

I have read Peters articles on triggers and draws repair many times over now and have a multitude of questions:
1. The draws angle is 74 degrees - is this cut to 74 degrees before fitting the patch or chiseled out afterwards? is there a tool that was made for this or was it just chiselled out so it matched the reciever?
2. Why would the cocking piece be pushed away from the bolt and hit the buttsocket? Maybe a bent firing pin?
3. As per post above : From Peter's Article (Part 2) on the trigger pull off. "First, I want you to run a steel rule or straightedge along the top edge of the trigger-less trigger guard. It must be flat and not warped" How long must it be flat for?? From forward of the Trigger guard screw or form behind it? and how far back? just to the trigger pivot pin??

sorry about all the questions there are zero enfield gunsmiths round here and I can't help feeling that I'm biting off more than I can chew and will screw up the rifle.

You can always save the worry and possible errors and just ship it to Brian Dick at BDL Ltd in Edgefield SC. He'll doctor it and return it as good as new. He's available on this site... PM him... https://www.milsurps.com/member.php?u=2818
