Springfield Mil-Spec G.I. WWII 45ACP
Problem: Hammer will not positively engage/lock back. It can be pulled back, and it does lock, however, a pull of the trigger produces nothing. You can push the hammer forward with your finger.
I was firing, and I was having problems dropping mags. Finally, trigger pull proved uneventful. I unloaded the pistol and came home. When I removed the grips, I noticed a small pin wedged in the sear spring. I have no idea what this pin is, nor where it came from.
It is not the Hammer Strut Pin, Hammer Pin, Mainspring Housing Retainer Pin. It is much smaller than any of these pins. It is .1 in wide and .62 long, but appears to be broken/sheared off.
The only thing I can seem to think it is is the pin (minus the spring) in the Mainspring Housing. The parts list shows the pin and spring, but they do not have parts numbers or names. The Mainspring Housing is definitely missing these parts on the top.
Please help.
Thanks,
Stinger
