Putting the trigger assembly back together is basically
the reverse of the steps involved in taking it apart.
Parts diagram for reference.

Reinstall the safety |
To install the trigger and safety
spring it is necessary to compress the spring. Start
the pin in the hole and
set the trigger and safety
spring in place (safety off). Then use a pair of vise
grips (pad jaws with leather
strips) and the shank of
a drill bit to squeeze the spring below the path of
the pin, then tap the pin on in. |
After you have installed the trigger
and safety catch spring, install the trigger bar assembly. |
Install the disconnector and tap in the
disconnector hinge pin. Replace the disconnector spring. |
Raise the disconnector and install
the rebound disconnector by squeezing it together placing it into
the
trigger guard . (you can now reinstall the trigger spring as well) |
Compress the hammer spring by hand,
this will take some effort, and drop it into
its retaining slots. |
Reinstall the sear, latch / sear
spring and magazine cover latch. Depress the magazine cover
latch and slide
in the latch stop pin. |
That is all there is too it.
Complete trigger assembly. |
| Lubricate the trigger
assembly with good quality oil or grease. Grease tends to
attract dirt and
create sludge over time so it should be cleaned
and reapplied regularly. (oil requires less maintenance).
Reassemble the rest of the rifle as
usual and function test.
