Maxim 1910 trigger lever

>IQ am trying to get a 7.62x54R conversion kit to run in a 08-15. The trigger lever in the 1910 lock does not catch the trigger bar. The gun runs fine in 8mm. Anyone know where I can get a 1910 trigger lever to work with?<
There is no other handsear that is long enough. The end of your 1910 lock handsear will need to have a small welded extension added and then ground back to the correct length to function with the 08/15 trigger bar.

Hey Bob, just a question...would it not be just as feasible to build up the trip point on the trigger bar? And then his setup would be compatible with all 1910 locks and retain compatibility with German locks?
Yes, but that damages the trigger bar which is an original MG08 part. The trigger bar that is original to his gun has far more value as an orignal undamaged part in his gun than the value of handsear from a 1910 lock. As much as is possible I prefer not to damage major, original components when there are alternatives to doing so which is virtually all the time in my experience. The damage to the original parts must always increase, or be a benefit to the value of the gun or parts rather than a decrease. His original gun and all its parts should remain orignal and undamaged when assemvled as a standard 7.92MG0815 in my opinion.

Got it done. Really pretty easy. Taking the lock apart was easy, but reassembling it was interesting. Took me a couple hours before I found out about putting the spring back AFTER the lock is back together. Everything now seems to be working the way it should. It was pouring rain today but I will try to make it to the range in the next couple of days.
