Well, I'm stumped, CYA friends.
CYA gun fool friends:
Today I tore the Jewel down that was locking up on me a few days ago....
I tore it completely down so I could check every screw, spacer and every part of every lever.
I can find nothing wrong........( although there's something wrong)
No, it's not going back to Jewel.......I want to figure out what's wrong, and fix it myself...
______________________
So I put it back together, without the side plate, so I could see what was happening, and manipulated the trigger by pulling the shoe and pushing down on the transfer bar...
And it worked perfect.....
So I kept at it.......maybe 30-40 times, and it worked perfect....
I started to put it back together then decided to cycle it 10 more times to make sure....
After about three more cycles it locked up......solid.....right now it's locked up.......
Here's a picture of it..........
CYA friends, I'm going to leave it like this for now, cause I'm headed to the range to shoot my Canjar LP trigger some more.....
Do any of you with experience with the Jewel have any ideas......
I blew the picture up so you can see the details closely.....
Do any of you see anything, at all, that looks out of whack?
Your gun fool friend, Bill Calfee

PS:
By the way, there's a deep scratch near the top of the side plate lying beside the trigger....
This is where the point of the middle lever is scraping the side plate as the transfer bar works up and down.....
At first I thought this might be the issue, but it can't be as the trigger is locked up with this side plate off...
