First, I appreciate all of the suggestions. I did some Googling before posting, and noticed that dang near every discussion on the other boards had a ton of flames and name calling. I knew that wouldn't happen here. Agree with do it yourself or not, no one told me how dumb I am. Thank you.

Second, I think the problem might be the sear spring. I disassembled the gun tonight and cleaned it, inspecting each piece carefully. The sear spring was mentioned as a potential suspect so I compared it to the original, and Viola! The middle leaf hardly had any bend in it at all. I re-bent it to match the original and reinstalled it. I'm heading to the range tomorrow - I'm going to take the original with me. If I still have issues, I'm going to swap out the spring.

I'll report back tomorrow. Thanks to my COTEP family for the suggestions and tips.

Not far enough.....the screw backs out due to firing.

Can someone knowledgeable explain to me how an overtravel screw can cause this?

Lane, I don't understand it either. It has something to do with bow length.

Why should you hate to do this? That was very good and pertinent reading. And, said very gently what many are probably thinking "what the hell is this guy doing??"

And the best part, he mentions being taught by Bob Rodgers. September can't come soon enough.
