Star firestar M43
Major help needed.
My friend wanted to completely clean his star firestar down to a complete disassemble. Not finding much help on the online he decided it didn't look to complicated he started to disassemble the lower receiver. Pushing a pin out 3 small parts fell out. After that happened we realized it was beyond complicated. They seem to be part of the hammer system. We cannot find any instruction on how to put the parts back together. Any help would be appreciated. Pretty much stupid rookie mistake. Hopefully not permanent? Every diagram I've found online serve no help. |

Looks like a sear. Beyond that, well, I've never been tempted to disassemble mine.

I assume you've found the manual at http://www.star-firearms.com/firearm...ls/index.shtml, right?
That's the sear, sear axis, sear spring and "sear pusher". The picture on page 6 should give you some idea of how they go together. Quote:

When I put the pieces back inside the gun I took me almost an hour just to get them in. Realized they were in wrong. Something is not in right. The hammer will not stay down....

Hammer not catching makes me think the sear spring needs to be installed some other way than you have it.

If Star's still in business, why not give their customer service a call? Good luck.

Star has been defunct for at least a decade.
