Screwloose are you sure that the bar on the inside of the selector switch (part 255) isn't just inappropriately fit into the little half circle at other side of the slide (part 260)? When putting my slide back togather I had a real problem getting the half-cirlce (part 260) to fit on the outside of the selector (255). Mine did that diaganol rod thing until I went back in and made sure that the shaft of the bar of part 255 was completely pushed into part 260 hole.
MUahaha, after writing that brief section I get how it works to an extent. I will referr to parts by their part No. ,it goes something like this. Cocking the gun locks hammer (263) back and lowers part 92. When trigger is pulled the gun cycles once (how this happens doesn't matter for us). After the first cycle, part 251's final allowable lowered position is determined by where the bar is. The bar stops part 251 from lowering to it's lowest position when the gun is set to fully auto. If the gun is set to semi-auto part 251 will lower even further back and somehow that is perhaps not far enough back or something on my gun, because that is the factor that makes the gun go semi or full auto. Then I think 251 has something to do with the hammer and controlling the trigger assembly. I will attempt adjust part 260's position to see if it is the factor that is contributing to the faliure of my gun. If anyone know's how the process works, post a brief description.
