I have done a lot of repairs and enhancement to the trigger since the last post. Today I made a new pivot pin to increase the press fit. Also deepened the groove in the trigger for clearance and smoothed up the hole with a couple of turns of rolled up abrasive cloth in the sear spring hole. I thought it could not hurt to smooth out any dingle berries and scale from heat treat. Took a photo to show what I did and found another contributor. That ding on the 5 o-clock position of the sear on the right was big enough to catch the over sized spring. It was a perfect storm of mistakes. I had assembled and disassembled this thing so many times I forgot to lube the trigger assembly, flipped the spring that used to work and did not catch the ding that had probably always been there. Some of the other things you all suggested are potential problems others could run into. These threads we think are only viewed by us regulars may be viewed by thousands of others. Before this is over I will go through and make a list of things to check based on suggestions made here.  I have made a bunch photos of the work so far and will post them soon.

I need to get some real gun grease as I can not find the old tube, the only reason I did not assemble the trigger today. good thing as it gave me time to make the photos. I plan on stopping at a gun shop Monday as I will be going to a dentist in San Antonio. No good places to find gun grease in Dewees.
