Sorry about your mishap. You have been given some excellent ideas to address the failure. Hope you get it sorted out
The irony is many people criticize the new Winchester m70 MicroTrigger ( and it works fine), and tout the older m70 trigger as "superior" and "bullet proof". Mechanical devices can and do fail, as the OP has found out.
Good luck for a simple, quick resolution to the glitch. Life happens.
