**UPDATE** I believe the problem has been solved and the culprit was the sear spring. I bent the sear spring similar to the one Bullseye posted and put it all back together with the factory sear and it was good to go. I just pulled it apart again and swapped for the VQ sear and it still seems to be ...

Ok I just pulled it apart and found that the sear spring does have more of a forward angle then the one you have pictured. If I am looking at it correctly that extra angle would cause less pressure on the sear thus possibly causing my problem?? Now should I attempt to bend this one up a bit or scrap...

Ok I got the bushing pin turned around and back in the correct position (not sure how that one happened) but I am still having the same issue. I'm at a complete loss for what could be causing this. I do see that the hammer is not quite square with the sear but what would cause this?? Is it possible ...

Welcome to Guntalk-Online! Have you incorporated any other parts or polished any of the other surfaces, like the hammer's hook? The first thing I would look at is the diameter of your washers. Is one of them partially blocking the sear from sitting completely on the hammer hook? Slamming the bolt a...

Having problems after VQ sear install: Ruger 22/45

I was forwarded to this website for help with my Ruger 22/45. I just installed a VQ target sear and while function testing it I found that if I let the bolt slam home it would drop the hammer at the same time. It would do this using the bolt release or slingshoting method of dropping the bolt. I hav...
