5th now push the sear/disconnecter pin out from right to left.on Llamas it is a flanged pin on one side to prevent drifting out.remember that the lower flat end of the disconnecter hits the trigger yoke and the sear position as well ,the pin has to go thru both as a mated pair when reassembling the lower frame again so take a pen and make notes. |
