I have been tinkering on my Springfield GI. Adding and fitting parts, etc.
Today I received a Ed Brown disconnector and EGW sear to add. I had already installed a EMC hammer and new trigger almost two weeks back. Everything had been fitted and worked fine with the original sear and disconnector.
First, I installed the disconnector. It works fine and does it's job.
Sear went in OK and trigger pull was noticably lighter from the get go.
The problem/question I'm having is the sear interface with the half cock notch. The EMC hammer has a captive notch and not the newer relocated shelf. If I cock the hammer and purposfully slip, the hammer falls to the notch and the trigger will not move. If I short cycle the slide, it falls to the notch and the trigger will not move. However, if I slowly draw back the hammer just to half cock engagement, it will often fall if I pull the trigger.
I took the sear and hammer out and fit them outside the frame using some rod I have as subsitute pins. The sear appears to have good engagement on full and half cock.
I just find it odd that I can force a failure (deliberately going to half cock), but the notch functions in the normal operation of the pistol.
Hope I've made myself clearer then mud.
