Been away for a long time, so my apologies if this has been covered....
I managed to trash my trigger (P3-AT, Second Edition) while trying to make a trigger shoe work.
KT sent me a replacement, and I stuck it in. Never quite got the pin that holds it in place exactly where it was supposed to be.
It quit working a few weeks ago, and I finally got a chance to work on it again a week or so past.
Seems like the really best way to do this (you can't get the pin out if it's in!) is to drill a small hole (about the same diameter as the pin) in the top of the trigger, and then push the pin in from the top....
There's a single hole in the bottom of the plastic trigger, and a pair of them in the little metal bellcrank that operates the sear bar (or whatever it's called). Outside of the frame, put the bellcrank into the trigger and then run a small drill bit though the three holes present to make a fourth in the top of the trigger. (It's got a circular section that surrounds the bellcrank.)
This also means that you can get the pin out without destroying the trigger! Useful if you forget the little spring that lives inside the bellcrank!
Regards,
