I bought a pre saftey 94 AE 30-30 the other day. However the lil tit that blocks the trigger untill the lever is squeezed is super stiff.
I have to sqeeze the lever as hard as I can instead of focusing on what I'm aiming at. I also have to choke up on the lever so much that its acctually the base of my finger that pulls the trigger.
My question is can I file this trigger block off?
Also I'm wanting to upgrade the sights both Front and rear. I'm thinkin either ghost ring or standard style of sight (non folding) for the rear and a post for the front. Wich do ya recomend
Dont file it off!! It must be depressed to allow the sear to release the hammer. The spring or interlock must be binding badly. If handy with tools,remove the butt stock and see if you can see what the L is going on.
there could be rust or debris holding it from doing it`s job the way it was intended to.
9422, my 1980 94 had the same problem, not as bad as yours though.
Once you take the lower tang out of the receiver, you can lightly pull the flat trigger stop spring up (that lays on top of the trigger stop) with a small screw driver and carefully take some of the spring out of it. Go real easy because if you go to far it will take all the spring out of it and will no longer set the trigger stop, a little goes a long way!
But first do the check that Chuck said and make sure nothing is binding.
For the sights, I'd suggest the Williams FP. it's a fine sight and you can unscrew the peep insert and it's as good as a ghost ring. Not as strong and durable, but unless you drop it on the sight it will last.
