So I got this rifle in a trade recently and I was having problems with inconsistent reset. I would cycle the bolt and sometimes the sear wouldn't catch so the striker would move forward when I lowered the bolt handle. I traced the problem to the torsion spring on the sear not pushing it all the way forward. I drove out the main trigger pin to reshape one of the legs of the spring and while that worked, when I reassembled the thing, my safety wouldn't turn on. The striker will drop in either the off or the middle position where I should be able to cycle the bolt but not fire the gun and won't move into the rearmost position at all. Any idea what might cause this? It seems like this part of the safety



bumping into this pin in the trigger housing




which is also this pin




I have a long action 308 without the accutrigger presumably from the bankruptcy era if that makes any difference.
