Is there some trick..

Is there some trick to getting the trigger assy back into my zastava 59/66?
The one in my russian SKS just pops right back in.
I'm having a heck of a time getting this one back into the rifle after a detail strip and cleaning..

Make sure you arn't pushing the thing out the other side when you try to snap it back in. I just put the rifle upside down on the carpet and push the assembly down into it that way.

a lot of the yugo sks's take a "bit" more force to get the trigger assembly back in...

as in i was damn near jumping up and down on it...

don't be afraid of a little elbow grease with it

I think the safety has to be in one of the two positions for the housing to snap in properly.

I wind up using a wooden block to protect the rifle and a C-clamp to squeeze it back in. Those two 'gun smithing tools' now live in my safe with the rifle.
