I understand how the trigger cocks the hammer on the Seecamp conversion. I guess I never thought much about how the sear was tripped on the 1911 conversion specifically. On the original pistol the stirrup trigger presses the disconnector back against the legs of the sear. I'm guessing those parts are not changed, but I don't quite understand how that part of the firing action is accomplished. Just retracting and dropping the hammer is not sufficient if the sear is not rotated out of the way.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I can see the double triggers on the Viking, but am having some problems seeing how the first trigger activated the second. I guess the first trigger just operated the hammer and the rear trigger released the sear Perhaps you can see how the Seecamp/Viking trigger set up works with this photo. Note the long transfer bar that activates the double action. When I lubed the Viking, I used Miltec grease, which I believed was a form of lithium grease. So I guess Jan Libourel and I agreed. No, I sold both the original Seecamp Commander and the Viking together to a Seecamp collector. When I first contacted him, his first question was "are yours BHPs?" I suspect the Seecamp BHPs were rare from his question, and had never seen one. As soon as you mentioned the DE's decocker falling off I remembered the story--it takes some prodding to get my brain working these days. Yikes, what a mess! Just another example of Colt's QA back in the day. Harvey |
I also used Lubriplate on rifles (old Marine habit), although it was the original stuff, and might not have been lithium based.
