Old Army "ting"

[olyinaz]

>>>Earlier it was discussed how to take the grip frame off and how you need to hang on to it cause the hammer spring wants to push away. There is a much easier way to do that. Cock the gun with the grip panels off and you will see that the spring bar extends through the block and there will be a hole showing (very bottom almost in the corner of the grip frame). Take a trusty finish nail or strong needle and stick it through, and then let down the hammer. The spring will still be fully tensioned and will lift the block free of the grip frame. The spring and plunger should slip right out now for dissasembly. This makes it much easier on the screws, not to mention your hands when doing full dissembly.<<<

Thank you sir. I was aware of that but it's good to have the information refreshed. Also, it's good to hear that you hear the "ting" also.

Best,
Oly

It's the ROA's Trigger on the first click at the halfcocked position ... watch the trigger and listen.

It is the half cock click that tings, but I don't see anything about the trigger that looks to be 'tinging'. I suppose the trigger return could be but I don't see it happening. If it were the trigger return it would be as the trigger jumps forward it would leave a space for the return to ting as it hits the trigger again, right?
