simple fix

pul out the back of the handle,
turn it upside down setting it on a table.

shine a light inside.

the thick wedge shaped thing needs to pull up towards you.

this can be achieved by setting the gun upright and pulling it down with a dental pick.


shine a light into that area. you will see a thin rod / stamped piece of spring steel. That was up into the bolt area. It needs to come down to allow the wedge to go all the way up.

that spring steel will also come down with the dental pick. if not go ahead and drive out the pin till it falls down.

If needed re insert the pin, making sure to hold that spring steel piece from going up.

push wedge upward into the bolt area

reinsert the back of handle making sure the spring steel piece fits into the springed detent on the back of handle lever.

if needed use leather mallet to drive pin all the way up. then insert back of handle

close back of handle latch.

belive it or not mkII was so much easier. this mkiii is a pain in the boooot
