Remington SPR 18 misfires

[lonewolf5348]

I seem to run into the problem lately at the range with the SPR18 in 243 cal. no hits after the trigger was pulled average was 3 no hits to the primer out of 20 rounds tested.
I did have the same  problem also a few weeks back I think it was 2 no fire out of 25 rounds.
I went ahead yesterday and stripped the internals out from the frame seem there was  a drag on poor metal fit  hammer and sear.
I went at it with 600 wet@dry and now you can hear the hammer strike the firing pin and man what a difference as far as seeing the dent on the primers compare to was it use to be.
I got the trigger pull down to 3 lbs but there is still a little creep
I had some time to kill today so I strip the SPR 18 went at it again on the hammer and sear and removed the trigger creep : I tested the trigger pull at a crisp 36 oz.

Hello; I have an SPR 18 in 7.62x39...with a very bad trigger..also with a barrel exterior that never stops rusting. Where do I find assembly instructions/views to aid in my attempt to make trigger useable. I have worked on Mossberg SSi's and NEF's with very good results. Thanks "L"
