Here are some pics of the trigger that was failing or AD'ing . It was dirty for sure . We did clean the rifle before shooting but did not take the action out of the stock . That's a must to clean the trigger . At the time I did not even consider removing the action and cleaning the trigger . IMHO most of us would not have done that , Just the good old standard rifle cleaning and go shoot . From now on though I will break down all used/new to me rifles and clean before shooting .
