Hello all...first time posting but long time reader of this forum, please bear with me if any of my technical description is off.
So heres my problem... I recently purchased a NIB Wasr-10 from my local gun shop. I got to hand pick from about 30 of them and had done some research prior so knew to avoid canted sites, etc... Upon my second trip to the range and after about 200 rounds of ammo through my new toy, I noticed that the pin that the trigger pivots on was sliding out of the receiver, causing the entire trigger to drop out of the gun! Yup, I was pretty shocked too, looks like I picked a winner... Upon further inspection after taking off the machine cover I could see the Sheppard hook was in position but was not putting enough force on the pin to properly retain it inside the gun, thus causing the pin to slowly work its way out and ultimately drop the entire trigger out. My guess at this point is that the holes drilled into the receiver are out of spec. to the point of causing this problem. I purchased one of those new "plates" that drop in on AKs and replace the Sheppard's hook and it seemed to do the trick and has kept the trigger stable now, however is there a better solution to this? If I but an entirely new Trigger Group, will that work if the original receiver holes might be a little out of spec? Any help would be much appreciated...
