1187 cleaned it trigger wont work

I took apart my 1187 and when I put it all back together the trigger wont fire the hammer . I never had the trigger group out or apart just the bolt .

Does the bolt cycle manually?

yes , before the forearm is installed and then tightened down everything works fine . Once I install the forearm and tighten down the retaining nut the trigger goes limp even if the hammer is cocked or not .

Is the disconnector below the end of the left connector?

For explanation see page 17.

OK I think what the problem was I didnt have the gas piston hardware in the right order .It may not have been letting the bolt carrier go all the way into battery .I am sure that like most guns the trigger is inoperable if the bolt is not all the way forward into a full battery position .

Thanks a million MTT TL for the remington link !
