Messed with the Dumoulin a bit tonight, while taking a break from the 444 stock (getting really tired of that iron-hard wood - trying not to let it make me rush and impact quality).
So, I discovered that sear reset is all over the place with this trigger. There's almost 1/8" difference between the rear-most and forward-most positions in which the striker gets stopped.
I messed with it enough to decide that it's not the safety or striker, but something in the trigger group.
I don't trust the trigger group, and think it's pretty cheap and cheesy, anyway. Add the fact that it's all riveted together, and the problems others have had, and I just don't want to screw with it.
So, a replacement is in order.
It may be an aftermarket adjustable trigger.
Or, I may see if I still have a Yugo 24/47 trigger lying around. If the geometry works, I can stone that one to break pretty nicely. I will need to come up with a spring, though. I used that trigger spring for an auto-ejection plunger in a home-brew plug cutter (for .44 cal shot cards).
If needed, I know that I do still have the 24/47's sear, as well.
