    Hi there I was referred to your posts from a different forum. I posted the same exact question and almost identical video that you did. My carbine is doing the same exact thing yours did. Were you able to fix it, was there any one specific cause if so

    Except, Your Trigger Spring has a broken leg.
    New Spring you'll be good to go.

    See this Video and compare the movement of your Sear:

    I just got a package in today with a new hammer, sear, and trigger spring.

    I replaced the hammer first and nope - didn't fix the issue.

    Swapped back to the original hammer and replaced the sear next. BINGO!

    Works flawlessly now.

    Thanks all for your help in diagnosing this!
