• pull charging handle back,
  charging handle pulls hammer/pin
  sear catches the hammer/pin,
  let go,
  spring pulls charging handle back.
  pull trigger,
  hammer moves forward,
  hits the schrader,
  hammer/pin comes to rest near the end of the closed off slot.

In the first rifle I was going to make, there wasn't any room for this system. But... since my original trigger design was a pain in the rear I decided to change the rifle I was gonna make to allow this kind of firing mechanism.

Its not finished yet but it works









I still need to machine the firing pin because its still too fat and make the charging handle - which will be just like the sear but turned for 180° and perform a different function. Then add a few springs to reset the trigger/sear and the charging handle, polish the whole thing and attach it to the schrader

That looks amazing! Can't wait to see it fire!
