Trigger spring tough to keep down

[ACP]

Correct; there is no more worthy cause to replace grips.

Now, I just have to find them.  You were very wise checking the forum in those early moringing hrs. to find your Robar.  That's what it will take to find the CFs; timing.

I get up around 3AM seven days a week. This is a remnant of when I used to have to call China and India during their work hours. The joke in my office was that I could not stay awake for a 9PM conference call.

It was a happy accident that I looked at the forum only hours after the Robar R9 had been posted. I had just ordered one the day before and fortune smiled on me with the timing.

I just replaced the standard grips with Hogues, and now i can't get the sear to engage the hammer after the first trigger pull.  When I first pulled the original grips, the pin holding the hammer spring and mag catch came off with the grip.  While replacing those parts, the trigger spring disengaged.  I put the spring and transfer/sear bar back in, put the spring does not put enough upward pressure on the transfer bar to engage  the sear with the hammer.  I have tried to gently bend the spring to achieve more pressure without success.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I will probably call Rohrbaugh tomorrow for advice, and possibly a new trigger spring.

Edit:  Ok, it's official, I'm an idiot.  It seems that the slide needs to be in place to push the hammer slightly back to engage the sear.  I had been testing the function without the slide, seeing how it's such a PIA to install/remove.  I called Rohrbaugh this morning, and they called me back within a couple of hours.  EXCELLENT customer service!

You're no Idiot.   We ALL go/went/are going/ through a learning curve with our R9's.  And we all learn from each other.

That's one of the main purposes of this forum.

I'm sure many just learned from your mistake.

I know I just did.

Thank you.

This forum itself, as an AGGREGATE of the members, is the "world's leading expert".  Great place, great people.  Love this community.
