So my question is : does anyone could give me a good advice (for a poor tinkerer) to place this tiny ball and its spring where they should be ? I mean in terms of step by step method. I'd be extremely grateful.
I did it ... It needed several attempts, during which the tiny ball found its way to its favorite rest place, but at least I succeeded, thanks to your explanations, especially concerning the selector position. Your key words are " I slipped the selector back in its slot (90% of full travel) and used needle nose pliers to set the check ball in place, aligning it with the spring position. Then I moved the selector forward to the lock-unlock positions, testing for operation."That's the trick I needed.So I took the pleasure of punching some paper, and immediately remembered how a poor shooter I can be . I don't really worry about that, I can practice now!! Yves
