A short time ago, I decided to disassemble my Handi-Rifle in order to do the trigger work as found under the FAQ's and HELP sticky. (TRIGGER IMPROVEMENT BY RAYNOR). Following the instructions closely, I successfully remove the trigger guard and assembly. Not wanting to complicate matters greatly, I simply removed the trigger and extension and polished them on a hard Arkansas stone. All had gone quite well at this point. Now I felt ready to reinsert the assembly. I made a slave pin, as called for by the instructions, to retain the assembly as it is inserted. I made witness marks on the splines of the pins and the frame for easy alignment. Ready to go, surely! At this point, I put the whole assembly back in the receiver, when I notice that the hammer is canted forward, unlike I had seen it previously. I thought I might need to realign the trigger extension with the hammer/sear. I removed the assembly and adjust the hammer, when, to my dismay, the hammer falls through the bottom of the receiver along with the hammer spring. Now, instead of a crisp, clean trigger on my rifle, I am left with a table top of parts. Beyond that, I have thoroughly befuddled myself, and turning to these forums, have sought the help of these knowledgeable folks. So, any advice on returning my rifle to an operating condition would be most appreciated.
