Trigger won't pull on my 870...Help?

[DHart]

JD... you stepped forward and offered to assist as needed. That's doing something for sure. You also answered many of my questions gladly via e-mail. You even steered me toward a solution for my 870 which didn't involve the sale of any of your products. That all makes you a good guy in my book!

Thanks, but not sure what I did. Don't even know what the issue was but I would of bet money the guy would have fixed it today on his own, which he did. What happens so often with guns, or anything we are working on, is you get stumped. Laying it down and walking away is a good thing. Come back later and you look right at the project and see the problem. It also is a good way to prevent projects from smashing into walls.

Good advice, so often the solution to a tough nut is to take a break. I'm reminded of wilderness first aid... once you can verify the person is stable, you can then usually take the time to sit back and assess your options, calmly.

Boy, isn't that the case?! So many times I've had a firearm apart and couldn't figure out something or other. The first time it happened (many years ago), I gave up in frustration and walked away and did something else. Finally, I went back to the firearm that I'd been frustrated with and almost immediately saw the problem and fixed it right away.

Since then, if I'm ever confused about something whenever I have a firearm apart, I just lay it down and walk away. Rarely do I not quickly figure out the problem once I return.

sounds like real life....

Another important lesson I've learned when trying to put things back together again is that if something doesn't quite want to go, more force is rarely the solution... usually something isn't quite right that needs to be set right first! Fortunately, I learned this lesson as a young man which has kept me from breaking a lot of things over the course of a lifetime.

JD is good to go! Great Calgunner. If you need shotgun work, send it his way.

I was on the fence for a reason to purchase another shotgun barrel. J.D. just gave me the reason and he is getting my business.

it's always nice though, when you put something back together and you have extra parts you didn't know you had.

Oh that's fun!
