I bought the Mrs a takedown charger she asked for, like this one



I put a red dot, magnifier and a folding brace, it came with a bipod. She loves it. Anyway, we were at the range yesterday and she fired 4 or 5 rounds and then nothing. Pull charging handle and feed a round. Nothing, dead trigger

It is clean

Any common known problems I can look for?

Easy enough to remove the fire control group (remove two pins after separating the action from the stock) to get a close look at what’s going on.

I finally had some time to look at it. There are no instructions to get the trigger assembly and bolt out of the take down model. I did find a video of the steps to do it for the next attempt

Take a look at the safety, It's been reported that it can get spun causing problems.

Go it apart and it was cocked, just not releasing hammer. Didn't see anything goofy with safety.

Finally figured out that it had not fully reset, had to manually pull the trigger out, reset spring? Anyway, I just ordered a BX trigger assy. Hopefully it will solve this

A BX trigger will solve that plus give you a better pull weight. Keep the original housing in case you want to upgrade to better parts, Kidd, VQ and Power custom offer you some choices. I've got a Franklin arms Binary in one and about to get a Mars FRT for even more fun.

Fingers crossed 383sstroker. I couldn't get it to duplicate the problem so instead of changing parts I just got the BX coming
