Hey Calguns, figured I'd give you guys a try, maybe someone knows something about the FN-49 trigger system.
My FN-49 has a pretty light second stage, makes me think either there is a worn part or something has been "lightened" in the past. It's usually not a problem, but it does come into play if I try to pull the trigger slowly, hit the second stage when the trigger engages the sear, but sometimes I don't feel it at all and the hammer drop comes as a complete surprise. I'd like to restore it to "factory spec", and from other FN-49 triggers I've tried where the second stage was very defined, my gun appears to be aberrational.
Any ideas on which parts I should replace to restore my FN-49 trigger to factory spec? I am thinking replacing the auxiliary sear spring and plunger (I had an issue once where I was dry firing the gun and the plunger slipped from its position and jammed up the whole trigger mechanism!), and maybe replacing the auxiliary sear too? Does anyone think a hammer and trigger replacement is also warranted as those parts engage with each other to constitute the entire trigger mechanism.
