Pulled the trigger out of my high wall and sent it off to Lee Shaver for a trigger job. Pretty straightforward job, one pin and the trigger and trigger spring fall right out. Fast forward to the return of the trigger from Lee, pop in the new spring and replace the trigger. I did not dig into the action any deeper to change out the sear spring. (Lee included a new one). Re assembled the rifle, function check everything seemed good with a nice clean 2 pound trigger pull.
Head out back, drop a round in, pull the trigger and no bang. No mark on the primer, so not light striking, almost looks as if the hammer isn’t hitting the firing pin. Anyone have any experience in this area, where did I go wrong in the re assembly? Where to start?

Disregard, couple minutes with a flashlight and I got the sear orientation figured out, going bang now.
Glad that worked out.
Yeah, that could have proven to be very frustrating. Glad it's working for you.
Was unaware the trigger job could be done without sending the whole gun. That’s good news.
