Hi I figure out what was the cause of my trigger wobble from side to side. I almost had to stop shooting my beloved Coonan. Since I got no clue if they are still in business and how to get parts. I had this idea. Ok, first of all because the end of the barrel was hitting the front of the trigger ‘made out of soft aluminum’ it made some marks. In time it elongated the hole that the trigger pin is used to secure in place. Second of all because the hole got elongated from the impacts it caused to make the trigger wobble from side to side. Lastly I added some washers on both sides of the trigger so the trigger pin would go thru the washer and sandwich the trigger in the middle and stopping from working from side to side. Trigger pin is roughly 2.14mm diameter. So I bought at amazon a micro washer.
2mm inner diameter and 5mm outer diameter to try to remedy the problem. I also filed down a little the back of the barrel where it was hitting. Feels great now and no more wobble, it feels firm and snug. No going to lie, is a pain to do that. But with patient and a pick and a punch you will figure out. I hope this helps. Will post some pics.

Their website has been saying it would all be fixed by November of last year. I'm pretty sure they are gone, think I saw the auction listing where everything was sold off. Not to say that they won't be back again someday but I'm not betting on it.

It is sad, I really liked their stuff.
