After my first post asking for information on Century Arms C91. And getting some helpful feedback, I decided to go ahead and buy a C91. I the guy I bought it from said he had never fired it. It looks like new so I kind of believe him. The problem I am having with it is when I pulled the charging handle back and locked it to look at everything, when I released it and pulled the trigger to release the hammer, nothing happened. I charged it again, pulled the trigger and still nothing. I took The FCG out to look at it and could see nothing that looked out of place. I am no gun smith by any means but I know how all the parts are supposed to work. I read the sticky on "G3 Trigger pack disassembly and reassembly" by rustypirate. (great thread bty) After disassembling it and inspecting each part I could find no reason for the sear not catching the hammer. After I got everything put back togeather and tried it nothing had changed. Pull the hammer back and the sear would not catch it. I did notice that the sear spring looked like it was hitting the trigger and not pushing the sear up enough to engage the hammer. Sure enough, when I put pressure on the sear spring and pushed the sear up it made good contact with the hammer and caught it every time. I was looking at RTG for a new spring and saw where you have to modify the full auto sear springs to work as simi auto. My question is, what is that modification. I can't find it in any of the threads. If all that has to be done is to bend the spring so that it doesn't touch the trigger. I can do that to this one and do not need to buy another just so I can bend it. Am I thinking about this correctly, or am I completely off base here. Can some of you guys that have built your rifles from the ground up help someone who doesn't know. Thanks.
