Looking For A Contender Parts Break Down
« on: October 25, 2003, 04:33:51 AM »
Does any one know of a good drawing of the Contender parts breakdown, on the net.
I swapped out the stock last night on my carbine, synthetic for walnut, and was putting my new 17 barrel on, and now the hammer wouldn't set or cock.
I took the stock back off and found a screw had come loose. It appears to be from the center of the spring that returns the trigger group back to position after cocking. I reinstalled it and the gun still won't cock, or rather the hammer won't catch when you pull it back.
I thought a good break down may be in order before I go any further, although I suspect the workings are fairly simple, I like a picture in case somthing is in the wrong place after the screw came loose. If not I may look for awhile before seeing the problem.
Also, any one had this happen, any ideas?
With all the Contender junkies around here I figured I would post this before going further.
Thanks, Andy

Mutwgn,
The screw you are talking about will not cause this problem, put it back in
and look at the prospect that the trigger is tripping when you close the action.
The trigger may be set too light, back out the adjusting screw 1/2 turn and try that.

send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send them to you. I've got both the old and easy open exploded views.
