Take take your bolt carrier out out. Look at the top of the trigger inside were the bolt carrier goes. Now depress your trigger while looking at the top of the trigger, you should notice your trigger going forward and your sear going rearward towrds the but stock. If this does not happen then you might have a broken sear or you ma have removed it and just not reinstalled it. The sear also acts a a spring for the trigger and it is attached to the bottom of the action by a single screw. It is a simple fix. I knew a sight that had tons of spare parts but cant find it. You will have to do a mossin web serch
Looks like I called that one.
Do a mosin web search for a new one. It shouldnt run you to much. If you weld it, it may loose its temper and not hold like it is suppose to or just break again because it is so thin and brittle. These parts are frickin brittle and old. I would send you one if I had one for free but I dont. Just went through a box of spare parts for mosins from tapco that I got when they did surpluss some years ago and couldnt find one. Got tons of other parts but not one of those. Good luck on it if yu can get the weld to work!
Oh and next time when you put her back together make sure that you depress the trigger before you put the bolt carrier back in. When it is most of the the way forward then let go of the trigger.
I was joking about the weld, I found a site where they are $12, I'm gonna check on machining a new one tomorrow, If that don't work out I'll just order one.
Thanks for all the advice though.
