Does it usually break like this?
« on: February 27, 2009, 05:27:46 PM »
Was out shooting the Hornet today when... "click".  Cocked and tried again.  "Click".  So I waited a minute and opened her up.  No firing pin strike.  Transfer bar comes up, but doesn't stay up when the trigger is pulled. 
I went and shot the breeze with another shooter for a bit (since I didn't have anything else to shoot), and headed home.  This is the first time I ever remember going to a range with only one gun.  No kidding.

Anyway, got home and pulled the lifter out, and for a couple minutes, didn't realize what was missing.  Wait, where's the little thing that the other thing pushes on when you pull the trigger?





Well, it was gone.  Stuck down in the buttstock cavity.
I've seen a number of posts about the pin coming out of the striker. 
So I'm wondering, when someone says their transfer bar broke,
is this what they usually see?  Is this why Quick carries an extra?   ;)

Ordered one of these from Numrich, by the way.  If they have them in stock, I'll be back out with this little rifle soon. 
This is an old rifle, for what it's worth.  It's been shot a lot, so, no fault with the gun.

Sorry, I put this silly thing in the wrong forum.

Moderator;  Can you move this to NEF/H&R Centerfire rifle forum, please?

Thx.

No Problem.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

I don't believe I've seen one break there, usually the hinge comes apart. I think if you had ordered the replacement from Brownell's you'd be in business much sooner, Numrich takes 8-10days for stuff to arrive, Brownell's ships the same day if I order before noon or so, I get it 2 days later, and you're closer to em in Id.  ;D

Well, I do have other guns to play with. :)

Thanks for the link, Tim. 
To tell the truth, I'm just not very familiar with Brownell's web site.  Also, this is for a 158.  I checked out your link, and the lifter they have appears to be for the SB2.  I don't know if they interchange, but in any case, Numrich showed one specifically for the 158.
