first issue with M99

[Heavy Duty]

I'll keep this short. Went shooting this weekend at the Alpena Sportsmans Club,they are .50 friendly and have a 600yd range. Actually it's 612yds and they marked off meters and yards from 100 to 600, you can also drive down range to place/check targets, what have you. After 28 rds the trigger stopped moving its full range of motion and would not break/fire. Turns out the roll pin (sear link pin, part# 99010) that links the trigger and the sear link together had migrated down to the ground. I gave up looking after 15mins or so and grabbed a different gun to shoot. While packing up for the day, I gave it one last look around and found it! With the available resources at the time, I took the trigger housing off the rifle and removed the safety, trigger, etc... I replaced the roll pin but this time I ran a length of speed wire a.k.a. mechanics wire through the roll pin, hopefully this will suffice for the time being until I can manage some type of pin with an e clip or other anti-walk pin assy. This rifle has about 80 rds through it so far. Have any of you had this happen to you yet, or a similar incident? Feel free to comment.....

I had the same thing happen to me. What's the deal? I am out of action as I could not find the roll pin.
