I've never done it bronko - never needed it. But it looks like a pretty simple fix if you need it.

There is a part missing out of your drawing that alleviates some of the problem... The 'fly' is an integral part nowdays.

that'd work on many of the single trigger rifles. I think though i'd try some welding before i used an epoxy. I'd prefer a bit more strength. But damn handy if you're in a fix.

Corrrect Semi, i knew that but folks that might look at their lock today would, in most cases, find that additional part.

Still the work suggested is a valuable point in many cases... especially when not using the set trigger...
