Broken trigger pin?

[HonestJohn]

If indeed broken. And looks like it’s indeed after all. Take a smaller diameter pin and punch through

 

[HonestJohn]

If you don’t have a small diameter pin, I can post you one, as per picture - a long thin one, but even a thin screwdriver should work ok

These are a blind hole

These are a blind hole

ahh,…what a shjitty design

 

[Ronin]

Yup

Painful when that happens - same design in 75/85

Nest idea but not perfect

Ejector would have been better places attached to action or bolt stop (like McMillan mcrt or BAT RV actions )

Have you got a box of DIY ‘bits’ for work around the house? - have a look to see if you have some of the pins (long thin nails) for hanging picture hooks. Because they go into plaster & hard materials these tend to be hardened. They will be thinner than the pin you need to drive out so should go through the misaligned holes. You’ll need to take the point off the end & flatten it which can be done a number of ways including rubbing it on a concrete slab if you don’t have a stone or grinder, or a dremel with an abrasive wheel, etc.

EDIT: FORGET THIS - I’VE JUST READ THAT THESE ARE BLIND HOLES… if tapping it on a sand bag doesn’t work then out the action on a hard surface with a piece of doubles up cereal packet under it to prevent damage. Get another piece of folder cereal packet to prevent you damaging the action & hit the action with a hammer. The inertia of the blow should cause the pin to rise up out of the hole it’s in - same principle as getting the caps off UJs in a prop shaft. Failing that buy a kit with new ejector kicker, pins & springs & use a dremel with a disc to cut through the white metal above the pin each side to release the compression & then refit new kit!

It’s a case of shocking it against a soft sand bag or similar Ian

You can use a smaller diameter pin and superglue (tiny amount-the type with activator spray) and remove carefully

Whilst manipulating the ejector to align the holes

Clearly the pin is broke - despite comment to the contrary

Got ‘im!

I removed the spring and the holes aligned more easily. Part on back order 4wk

 

[HonestJohn]

I suspect this could work,

Happy to send it to you to try. 4 weeks rifleless sounds more painful than an unexpected rectal examination, so happy to assist if interested

I may have a used pin but you are honestly better replacing the entire ejector springs and pin at the same time

Or just scrap the Skoda and buy a nice new rifle! Opportunity knocks
