Looking for a part.

[Mzzlldrinpa]

I recently received an older CVA sxs from my father. I am having some trouble with the left hand lock. Somehow over 30 years, the sear has gotten bent. Anyone know where I may get a sear for it? I have already called Deer Creek. They do not have any. Also, many thanks to Jappo. He sent me some pictures to compare to mine. He has been very generous in helping me. I take my hat off to you sir. Thank you very much.

Is the sear bent or is the sear arm bent?

A sear arm if often bent so the trigger engages the sear arm more quickly.

Can the bend be unbent?

Pictures?

The sear is bent. The arm I understand being bent. Not sure if I can bend it back. I am afraid that it will break. I assume it would need to be heated, bent and the rehardened.

The gun works shows that part available:
https://www.thegunworks.com/custprodgun.cfm?ProductID=299&do=detail&Cat2Option=yesI will mention that the sear arm on some guns is bent by the factory to have proper contact with the top of the trigger. I thought it was a defect but correspondence with customer service said the bent sear arm was deliberate. So, if it works, it may be by design.

That is one strange looking sear nose.

Almost as if it wasn't made for that lock and someone bent the snot out of it to make it work.

Also looks as if a great deal of heat was applied to it.

Good luck with her.

Yea thought it looked rather odd as well. Compared to the puc that Jappo sent me, it's shape looks really off.

Yes, that's not looking right at all...

 

[Mzzlldrinpa]

Part has been ordered. Thanks for you help. Much appreciated.

 

[Mzzlldrinpa]

It should look more like this.

Yes, everyone is right. That looked abused. New part time.
