Need help with Mark II trigger problem

Could I alternatively remove some material from the receiver so that it no longer makes contact with the disconnector?

I'm also curious how this happened in the first place. I assume it wasn't like this new but after looking at the wear spot on the receiver I'd guess its been rubbing for a while. Did the disconnector lever get bent?

Make sure the disconnector is straight and the trigger pin is not causing the disconnector to bind with the frame. My MKIII did this till I straightened it out, may be something to check. As long there is not any burrs it should not hangup on the frame. The trigger plunger sping should have enough force to over come just general surface tension. You can polish the frame with a dremel buffing wheel, but it should not be needed.

By golly I believe its fixed.

After removing the hammer end of the disconnecter lever, but before removing the trigger end, I took a good look at the disconnecter lever. I could see that it was slightly twisted so that the top of the lever would come in contact with the receiver. I twisted it slightly counterclockwise to straighten it out. Then reassembled.

Problem Solved!

Many thanks to all who have helped me with this. I appreciate the patience and sharing your knowledge. Great forum.

Maybe I'll post an update after hitting the range this weekend for the first time with this MkII.

Good to hear,

Do give us a gun range report... Happy shooting.

I'm glad it's all fixed. This is sometimes tough for me, as I have to rely on someone else's eyes to help troubleshoot a problem. Typically, I would find and solve one like this in about five minutes. Enjoy your pistol!

Yeah, I'm sure its difficult walking/talking people throught the trouble shooting. But as I posted before, while it was frustrating at times, I sure have learned a lot about this pistol and how it operates.

You deserve a lot of credit, you stuck with it and didn't get frustrated to the point of giving up. Not everyone can be that patient. Some folks get anxious and start posting a bunch of questions on the other forums, only to receive a bunch of well intended suggestions and lose track of what they've done in the troubleshooting sequence. Finally in total frustration, their pistol ultimately ends up in a box on its way back to the factory.

Overdue range report:
Glad to report that the pistol functioned well at the range over the weekend. I put about 200 rounds through without a problem. Here's to many years of happy shooting with a nice MkII!

Well you were not the first with this problem, as I had similar issue with myMKII that Bulleye help me figure out about a year and half ago. Close tolerance's in that area.
