It seemed reasonably accurate, but the trigger problem was too distracting for me to think I really tested it out.

The trigger should have a spring plunger directly behind it that can be seen from the outside of the rifle. Do you have that? The reason I'm asking is that is a coil spring and they typically don't break, so it makes me think that whomever assembled the rifle may have oops'd and forgot to put the trigger spring in. If you're missing the part, call Rav at The Dealer Warehouse, he usually has a lot of FAL parts in stock. (209) 545-2800 Here's a view with the grip removed.

Otherwise if it was assembled from a kit, that kit probably had Cosmoline all through it, so you could have Cosmoline built up in various places within the lower. The trigger group is copied from an M1 Carbine so it's pretty simple. Gun scrubber and compressed air will get you pretty far if you don't want to take it apart.

just stumbled on this thread.
After reading that Coonan thread, it makes me glad I got a DSA, even though it was "95%" gtg as well.
That Coonan thread is gold btw...some serious players going after each other.

I was able to disassemble the rifle this past weekend. It was clean and oiled inside. I swapped the similar sized trigger return spring with the sear spring. That made the problem much worse. It appears to be a DSA hammer kit. Where does that leave me? Which parts need replaced?
