I Installed a choate and then the gun fell 8 feet onto hard floor. Don't want to talk about it :-(
I went to the range and the trigger won't budge. Headed home to look at it. Any ideas on what could be the issue. I'm hoping i just assembled it wrong or it's something obvious on the trigger. Anybody have any insight?

Bent washer in stock. When it fell the stock must have hit and absorbed the impact and bent the washer allowing the bolt to obstruct the trigger from setting (or safety from disengaging) back in buisness

Great! I'm glad you solved the problem.
Thanks,

I guess those stocks are pretty tuff after all...
I'm still curious about the 8' fall????
(Glad you got it fixed!)

Me too....
Well looks like I need to fess up....
I had just finished painting it after many many hours into it I was pleased so I wanted to take a picture for OG to post. I laid it on the floor and snapped a few then got a great idea to sit it on a white ledge beside my stairs. Well somehow while I was taking the picture the gun fell off and in all honesty it was more like 12feet over ledge down the stairs. The muzzle went through the sheet rock. Not a scratch on the new paint though. I still don't know what happened

That story right there was worth the price of admission... Sorry it happened, and glad no major damage or injury occurred, but that is... A bit funny right there.
How'd ya 'splain that one to the wife?
Well, ya see, I was taking a picture for the guys over at OG and I wanted to make sure it was just perfect... :TooFunny:
You know she wasn't even surprised....not sure what that says about me

The pic I want to see is the one with the muzzle sticking into the sheet rock! :TooFunny:

If he is anything like me (and from the pure fact that this happened to him, it would appear he is), my conversations generally start out...
"Well baby, somehow...."

That was the 2nd sentence. The first one was "you don't wanna know"

Sounds like my kind of luck after I fix something. I just had a similar issue with our 20 ga super bantam, went dove hunting and trigger wouldn't pull. Pulled it apart while in field and coudnt figure it out, trigger mechanism worked ok when outside the gun. When I got home I found that last time I tightened stock (after turkey season) I had cracked the internal skeleton of the composite stock. The stock bolt now went too far into the action and jammed safety into trigger mechanism. New skeleton from Mossberg (didnt know it came out of stock LOL) problem solved.
