So your one of the unlucky few who don't have
a Shepard Hook that was pictured…not to fear,
if we take it slow we should be able to get it
installed. It might be a good idea to get some
one to help you hold the rifle through the instalation.

First take your Shepard hook and insert it through
the magazine well as shown, you want to slide
it along the left side of the receiver until the
hooked part touches the inside grove of the hammer
axis pin. Now grab on to the small bent part through
the top of the receiver and with the pliers pull
the Shepard hook until the hook part encloses
the hammer axis pin grove, make sure its flush
against the left side of the receiver.

Below is a picture guide on inserting the Shepard
Hook
A. Push Shepard Hook up through magazine well
as shown
B. Pull the hooked part of the Shepard Hook
over the Hammer Axis Pin

 |
If
you did this right, the hooked part of the Shepard
Hook should be flush against the left side of the
reciever and engaged around the hammer axis resting
in the little grove of the pin. If it is not in
the grove use a screw driver to leverage it in place.
I have outline the Shepard Hook in green. |
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.
|
 |
 |
Now
take the flat head screw driver or your finger and
push the Shepard Hook down until it is under the
trigger axis pin hole, this is hard to do and I
recommend you have some one hold the rifle for you
during this step. Countinue to apply presure and
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 Shepard Hook should be
held under the trigger axis pin. Now take the flat
head screwdriver and push down hard and at the same
time leverage the Shepard Hook into the groves of
the trigger axis pin, this is a bitch to do and
may require several attempts.
|
|
 |
If
you did this correctly it should look like the picture
to the left. Notice how the Shepard hook is flush
against the left side of the reciever and inside
the grove of the trigger and hammer axis pins. 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. |
