Another FX Wildcat broke trigger

Thanks for posting, I'll be careful to check the safety before I pull the trigger from now on.

"cootertwo"The little "L" piece, apparently made of aluminum, breaks at the weak point, where they made a cut-away for the spring. Can be easily done by pulling the trigger, with the safety on. I have requested parts from FX and AOA, we'll see. Will try to fabricate one in the mean time. ;(

Firstly, sorry for your loss. But seriously, thanks for the info!! 

Good to know?

Was this on a Wildcat I or II? I thought I read somewhere that they strengthened the trigger linkage on the Wildcat II because of this problem.

Thanks for sharing Cooter, I thought I'd seen a post on this same subject earlier and I see that you found it. My wife's cousin and her husband came to visit a couple of years ago. I was going to let him shoot my Vulcan Tac. I told him it had a very light 8oz trigger with no second stage. He sat down behind the un-cocked gun looked through the scope and tried pulling the trigger. I thought maybe he was just getting lined up and settled in before cocking the bolt, nope he was actually trying to pull the trigger. After it wouldn't fire because it wasn't cocked he apparently pulled even harder on a 8oz trigger. The dumb butt pulled so hard he pulled one of the threaded trigger linkage rods out of a clevis.
Just saying this because anything can break on these sophisticated guns if you try hard enough.
