First take the hooked end of the Shepard Hook
and Hook it around the cross rivet as shown in
the picture. Make sure the Shepard Hook is flush
against the left side of the receiver.
NOTE: The only reason the hammer is cocked in
this photo is because I needed it out of the way
to take the shot.

Next you must use your pin punch and remove the
trigger axis pin. To make this step easy push
the pin punch all the way through the disconnector
and trigger to hold them in place but make sure
to leave a gap between the receiver wall and the
disconector on the left side.
In the photo I have circled the place where the
gap should be, notice how I have my pin punch
still inserted through the trigger and disconnector
and the right side of the rifle to hold them in
place.
|
Now take the flat head screw
driver or your finger and push the end of the
Shepard Hook down until it is under the trigger
axis pin hole. Reinsert the trigger axis pin and
push it all the way through the trigger and disconector.
I recommend as you reinsert the axis pin you slowly
back out the punch so it doesn't separate the
trigger from the disconnector.

 |
If
you did this right the small bent part of the shepards
hook should be held under the trigger axis pin.
Now take the flat head screw driver and leverage
the small bent part of the Shepards Hook up under
the small groove in the trigger axis pin. The picture
to the right shows what it should look like if you
did this right. |
Next look over the entire length of the Shepard
Hook and make sure its flush against the left
receiver wall and that it runs through the groves
of both the hammer axis pin and the trigger axis
pin.
Do a final check by taping on the axis pins to
make sure they don't back out of the rifle.
|
And that's it, you just installed the Shepard
Hook, to finish the reinstallation take the selector
(safety) lever and reinsert as shown in the picture.
|
|
|
Once reinserted pull
the trigger back and rotate the lever down, if it
hits the back of the disconnector that's ok just
force it a little and it aught to slide past it,
continue to rotate it down until its in the fire
position.
|
And that's
it, you just completely reinstalled the rifles Fire
Control Group. Put the rifle back together and it
should be ready to rock and roll. |
