I found the spring and re-assembled the bolt catch mechanism. It must have popped out when I removed the catch and catch buffer. I then test fired the lower several times. There are a lot of springs and pins in this rifle, just like my 1911.
I took the rifle to the range today to adjust sights and try my Burris on for size. I shot over 100 rounds. The trigger never stuck. Perhaps it just needed some more breaking in?
The Federal LC headstamped 55gr JHP I got is fantastic. I was shooting 1MOA with sights and itty bitty groups with my 4.5-14x42 Burris.
Trigger pull is pretty heavy compared to any other rifle I have shot. But my groups were as tight as I wanted. After getting a few shots off and seeing how it was going, I opened up and started blasting. Thank goodness for reloading!
