    WTH? RT Pro Sear split?

    Ok, so having issues teching my RT pro with x valve and finally went and tore it completely down after swapping out parts all day... I unbolt the sear and it has literally split! Along the top of the front section of the sear is a thin darker area that appears to be a different type of metal. It has literally seperated from the rest of the sear!. I am at a bit of a loss for words. Is this common? Is there something that I could have done to make this happen?

    Major inclusion in the metal... that's crazy.

      Pics or shens!

      In all seriousness, I'm having a hard time picturing exactly what you mean so a picture would be helpful.

          As usual, I can't find either of the cameras that are supposed to be around here. Essentially look at the sear from the side. There is a horizontal split going from the sear catch forward to the front of the sear. On the sear I have there appears to be a 1/8th horizontal strip of metal that is fused to the sear and it has essentailly come loose.

          I'll try to find one of the freaking cameras and get a pic.

          My main fear is that I did something wrong. I did some work on the back of the rail and hoping I didnt throw the tolerances out of whack that would have cause this.

            That is an older RT sear. They had some sort of 'insert' fused into it where it catches the bolt and it was pretty common for them to come apart (Which is why they dont make them like that anymore)

              Ok, that must be what happened. Guess I am on a hunt for a new one. Ugh.

              Thanks for the help BE.
