    Field FW 12 gauge---installing trigger plate Archived Message

    Posted by Bruce Cherry on August 24, 2014, 2:03 pm

    I've converted my 3-position safety to a 2-position safety since I couldn't find the proper spring. Have disassembled/assembled many times now and know all the tricks but one. I can't get the safety link to fit into the notch on the safety when I'm installing the trigger plate. The link trips each time and what I end up with is no safety. Triggers work fine, hammers cock when action is opened and closed, but there is no safe position because safety link tripped during installation. How does one get the safety link to fit into the safety notch when safety is in safe position without tripping the link? It seems that the safety link and the notch don't fit when the triggers/link are in the safe position and the safety is in the safe position. Thanks.
